It's not a problem if General Liu has many missiles, but it's a big problem if he has just one. In this military parade, the JL-1 air-launched ballistic missile was displayed, which is carried and launched by the H-6N. Although the parameters of this missile are unclear, its size should be sufficient to reach Guam.

Previously, some media claimed that this is China's "Kinzhal" hypersonic missile. However, I personally believe that the JL-1 is more technically advanced than the Kinzhal, and has a longer range. The JL-1 body has a clear double-cone structure, which combines aerodynamic control surfaces and glide body technology, providing hypersonic flight capability and maneuverable trajectory characteristics. In contrast, Russia's "Kinzhal" is merely an air-launched version of the "Iskander," which needs to be accelerated to 2 Mach by the MiG-31 before launch to barely achieve hypersonic speed, and thus does not qualify as a true hypersonic missile.
