Professor Ma wants his railgun to reach a range about 1000 miles.
Totally agree with you. China is miles behind US in overall defense technology even if China succeeded in building this rail gun and US gave up. It’s like India bragging that it’s space tech is ahead of China because of one area.
China still need to work hard and don’t let the SP12 mentality get into them. Otherwise, China will fail like SP 12.
The news that China was ready to test the world's first naval railgun has sent a shock wave across the global, excited millions of military forumers, but international MSM so far have been mysteriously quiet about this monumental event. It marks the first time that Chinese claim the top spot in a highly contested military science new frontier, beating even once seemly invincible US military-industrial complex.
International MSM has yet to find a way to digest and take on this news, as the regular lines of attack "copy, paste, revise engineering" don't seem to be making sense, and "steal, hack" will make US counterpart look dumb and incompetent. They will have to come up with something more creative to defame China this time.
I don't know how advance this gun but I think China deliberately reveal this toy to push US back on track over rail gun business, US will have spend more money in this domain if they want to have a face saving as world most advance military nation in all aspect.
Chinese version of "Star War" strategy? It would be very interesting if this is indeed what Chinese leadership has in mind.
Honestly,It's not a surprise for me ,there were lots of rumors going on for years.The news that China was ready to test the world's first naval railgun has sent a shock wave across the global
MSM is brainstorming now for a story. I'm sure they'll come up with some story.

The problem with USA military today, they need to spend a lot of money and take longer time to create it.
