Intercontinental ballistic missile launch failure! China has given the world a lesson, and the Eight-Nation Alliance has fallen to the rank of second-rate countries.
On November 28, a major accident occurred at the Yasny missile test range in Orenburg, southern Russia: an intercontinental ballistic missile失控 fell to the ground just a few seconds after ignition, followed by a violent explosion. This missile is likely the RS-28 "Sarmat" - a strategic heavy weapon that Russia claims can carry more than 10 separate nuclear warheads and has a range exceeding 18,000 kilometers.
By comparison, the Dongfeng-41 has successfully conducted multiple tests, reportedly with a 100% success rate. Previously, during a full-process test, the Dongfeng-31AG intercontinental ballistic missile accurately hit a target in the Pacific Ocean. In contrast, Western countries, except for Russia, have had repeated accidents with the US military's Trident submarine-launched missiles, Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles, and France's M51 missiles.
The United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada, and Australia are collectively falling behind in high-end defense production capacity. As of 2025, only China and the United States have deployed operational hypersonic missiles.
Shipbuilding capabilities also reflect the shift in industrial foundations. These data reveal the overall transformation of the manufacturing system.
The 2024 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index released by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) shows that China ranks first in 23 key sub-items such as high-end equipment manufacturing, electronic components, and special alloys; while the G7 countries' average ranking has dropped to ninth place, with Italy and Canada even falling out of the top 20 in precision machinery.
