RT – A Chinese next-generation submarine-launched ballistic missile (JL-3) was reportedly successfully test-fired on Sunday – the same day the defense minister vowed to “fight to the end” if challenged by the US.
China demonstrated its sea-based nuclear deterrent by firing a JL-3 ballistic missile (SLBM) in the Bohai Sea in the early hours of Sunday morning, Defense Blog reported, citing eyewitnesses in the area. The area was closed to navigation by the Maritime Security Administration to conduct “military exercises.” Beijing has yet to confirm the test or its results.
