China's private enterprise Lingkong Tianhang has successfully developed the Yukuang Ji-1000 hypersonic missile and achieved mass production, which has instantly gone viral.
However, the greatest significance of this event is not that Chinese private enterprises can produce high-tech weapons, but rather the tremendous success of China's industrialization, which enables the large-scale production of high-tech weapons at a low cost.
If we don't focus on the term "private enterprise," but instead look at the attributes of Lingkong Tianhang as a company, and then examine its R&D capabilities, we would not be so surprised.
The company's successful development of a hypersonic missile first relies on China's complete and powerful industrial system, which is the biggest factor for success, a condition that other countries and regions do not possess.
On this basis, Lingkong Tianhang has adopted multiple measures to significantly reduce costs, which is a smart approach.
The real combat in the Ukraine conflict has shown that if the weapon technology is advanced but there is no sufficient quantity, it actually has little significance for modern and future high-intensity warfare. If there is both quality and quantity, it would be formidable on the battlefield.
Lingkong Tianhang's Yukuang Ji-1000 has achieved both quality and quantity, which is its most shocking aspect.
For potential opponents, this will be a major headache. Because the emergence of Yukuang Ji-1000 means that as long as China is willing, it can produce an enormous number of hypersonic missiles, making it difficult for potential opponents to intercept. When it comes to industrial productivity, no one in the world can match China.
