On the eve of the 95th anniversary of the army and against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait, China released (at the 9th second of the video) footage of the launch of a missile similar to the hypersonic "aircraft carrier killer" Dongfeng-17.
According to experts, if the video really shows the DF-17, which China first demonstrated at a military parade on October 1, 2019 in Beijing (pictured by RIA Novosti), then these are the first shots of live firing with its use.
Chinese military analysts note that the ability to launch from a highway shows that it does not require a pre-prepared position - which makes the missile very flexible, extremely difficult to detect and hit before launch, and after - almost impossible, given the unpredictable trajectory and speed of more than 5 Makhov.
