China recently conducted a test of a long-range nuclear missile capable of reaching the United States. The missile test took place late last month from a submarine in the Yellow Sea, during which the Julong-3 missile – with a flight range of 5,600 miles – was fired, according to the South China Morning Post last week.
A source who revealed news of the launch to SCMP also said the JL-3 missile made significant strides with an increased distance of approximately 1,250 miles over its predecessor missile.
“It’s still big progress, although it’s still far less powerful than the Trident or the Russian Bulava … their flight range means they can reach any targets in the world,” the source said.
