CJ-1000
A scramjet hypersonic cruise missile and successor to the DF-100
Estimated range: 6,000 km.
DF-100 reached Mach 4 — CJ-1000 likely exceeds Mach 6, marking it as the world’s first long-range hypersonic missile.

DF-5C — three parts of one missile on three separate vehicles This strategic weapon is a true monster.
The DF-5C is a paradox in steel and firepower. On paper, it is one of the most terrifying missiles on Earth: a 3-stage, liquid-fueled ICBM with a reach of 12,000–16,000 km, theoretically capable of hitting any U.S. city from deep inside China. Its modular three-vehicle design allows it to carry enormous payloads … up to 10 MIRVs (independently targetable warheads) or nearly 4 tons of destructive power. In nuclear math, that’s city-busting squared.
But here’s the catch boys and girls !! liquid fuel is both its strength and its Achilles’ heel. Unlike modern solid-fuel ICBMs (like the U.S. Minuteman III or China’s newer DF-41), the DF-5C requires 30–60 minutes of fueling before launch, making it vulnerable to detection and pre-emptive strike. This is Cold War chess in the 21st century: incredible payload and reach, offset by slower readiness. It’s a strategic dinosaur upgraded with terrifying teet
For Beijing, parading the DF-5C isn’t just military theater … it’s signaling .. clear signals … The message to Washington and NATO is clear: while China races toward modern solid-fuel, road-mobile missiles, it still possesses heavy, high-yield ICBMs designed to overwhelm missile defenses by sheer brute force. In a world edging toward multipolar nuclear rivalry, the DF-5C is less about actual battlefield use and more about deterrence psychology. It tells adversaries!!
“Even if you think you can intercept the sleek DF-41s, can you stop a rain of 10 warheads from one old giant?”
Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA)
HSU-100 and AJX-002
Advanced naval drones for reconnaissance and strategic missions — similar in concept to Russia’s Poseidon, a long-range nuclear-capable torpedo designed for strategic deterrence.
OW5-A50 Laser HMV3 and “Hurricane 3000” Microwave System
The OW5-A50 laser and Hurricane 3000 microwave system are not just anti-drone gimmicks. They are the first step in the industrialization of directed-energy warfare.
A 50 kW laser burning circuits and a microwave cannon frying swarms in mid-air collapse the economics of modern combat. A $200 quadcopter that once forced a $2 million missile response is now neutralized at the speed of light, at near-zero marginal cost. Energy replaces ammunition. Silicon replaces explosives.
Geopolitically, this flips the balance. Whoever scales directed-energy first dictates the future of airpower. Missile shields, drone swarms, even satellite constellations … suddenly vulnerable to beams, not bullets. It is no longer about who has more shells, but who controls the electromagnetic spectrum as a weapon.
The wars of the 20th century were fought with steel and powder. The wars of the 21st will be fought with photons and waves. China just signaled it intends to lead that revolution.
