Beijing Heavy Hammer - Jinglei-1 Air-Launched Ballistic Missile! This is the only air-based nuclear delivery method in the world!
Jinglei-1 has a rocket booster at the rear and a double-cone hypersonic missile at the front, with extremely strong penetration capability. Its overall configuration and aerodynamic shape are very similar to the Rocket Force's Dongfeng-15B medium-range ballistic missile, which has a range of over 1000 kilometers. However, Jinglei-1 is launched from the H-6N bomber at high altitude, and it appeared much later than the Dongfeng-15, so its range must be much greater, even doubling; due to the double-cone warhead, its maximum speed should not be lower than 8 Mach. This is a strategic killing tool of the People's Air Force!
During the Cold War, the US and the USSR spent huge amounts of money to develop air-launched ballistic missiles, but their ranges were only hundreds of kilometers. For example, the Soviet KH-15 air-launched nuclear ballistic missile, which entered service in 1985, could be launched by Tu-160 and Tu-22M3 bombers, with a warhead of 350 kilotons TNT equivalent, but its range was only 150 kilometers, and the maximum speed was only 5 Mach. The corresponding American AGM-69 air-launched nuclear missile had performance similar to the Soviet one, and it was retired after the Cold War due to its high cost and complicated logistics support.
Evidently, we have already possessed many powerful weapons that the two superpowers could not achieve despite their best efforts. Jinglei-1 is one of them. Moreover, there are no similar weapons in the world today, fully demonstrating the extraordinary strength of our People's Liberation Army and defense industry!
