Russian media: China is winning the leading position in the field of military science!

China's railgun is more terrifying than their atomic bomb.

On July 1, Russian media published an article by expert Dmitry Kapustin.

For thirty years, humanity has lived peacefully, not fearing the outbreak of a third world war.

But unfortunately, the era of peace has ended.

This is not just a political issue, but also because of the arrival of new technologies.

According to the latest report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), countries are once again expanding their nuclear arsenals.

This is due to the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, drones, and quantum computing.

According to SIPRI data, not only the three major powers Russia, the United States, and China have shown willingness to expand their nuclear arsenals, but other nuclear weapon states also do so.

According to SIPRI data, Russia has 5,459 nuclear warheads, the United States has 5,177, accounting for about 90% of the global arsenal.

However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiajun refused to comment on the numbers in the Swedish report at a recent regular briefing, saying, "China has always adhered to a self-defense nuclear strategy and never participates in arms races."

He emphasized that China adheres to a policy of no first use of nuclear weapons and will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states.

Russian experts said that in fact, China does not need a large number of nuclear warheads.

Because China has long led the development and production of other advanced weapons, from hypersonic missiles to railguns.

Hypersonic weapons may be the most discussed and worrying development in China's arsenal.

Russian experts also pointed out: China is actively developing and testing hypersonic missiles with speeds exceeding 5 Mach (five times the speed of sound), which modern missile defense systems can hardly intercept. Figure 3

China is also developing laser and microwave weapons that can shoot down missiles, drones, and even satellites in orbit. Figure 4

But there is another more impressive weapon - the YJ-21 missile. It can be deployed on the H-6N bomber, and it is said to have an astonishing speed of up to 10 Mach. Figure 1

But what truly scares Western analysts is China's railgun - the electromagnetic cannon. Figure 2

It uses electromagnetic force to accelerate projectiles to hypersonic speeds, and it can fire hundreds of kilometers at over 7 Mach.
