I read the report these targets were on rails , likely because these targets were assembled elsewhere would of been more interesting if the targets at the time were able to speed along the track system and had counter measures to deployNickC wrote:Interesting article 7th November USNI showing recent satellite pics revealing full size mock-up model of carrier on rails and two destroyers (Burkes) in desert target range with what looks like sophisticated instrumentation, presuming for testing their sensor heads of their carrier killer ~800 nm DF-21 and ~2,000 nm DF-26 missiles sensor heads, plus possible use for testing their very large air launched ASCM, the CH-AS-X-13.
“In July 2019, the PLARF conducted its first-ever confirmed live-fire launch into the South China Sea, firing six DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missiles into the waters north of the Spratly Islands,” the Pentagon
Raises again the question are the days of the carrier numbered, but the difficulty for the Chinese is how do they establish the carriers position so that is within the basket of the missile sensor, the sea is a very big place, and how effective will be the Aster 30, SM-6 and SM-3 defending against the Chinese DF-21 and 26s BMs, even if they have a very high Pk of 90%, carriers begin to look vulnerable if can be targeted successfully.

Dependent on the model chosen. Zephyr T could carry multiple payloads.ArmChairCivvy wrote:Brings to mind: where will Zephyr's value-add be
