According to Xiaoyang**, citing foreign media reports, the number DF-27Dongfeng-27, together with the DF-25, Julang-2A, DF-31B and DF-41, are also known as China's five major intercontinental ballistic missiles in service. During a live-fire test, the DF-27 accurately hit a moving target at sea at a distance of 5,000 km.
According to a report by the Pentagon, on February 25, 2023, the Chinese Rocket Forces conducted a live-fire strike test of the brand-new long-range hypersonic missile DF-27 at an altitude of flight30000 metersAbove, although it flew only 2100 km, the sustained flight speed was2916 m s
Based on the analysis of modeling big data on the flight trajectory of the DF-27, the US military has concluded that the maximum range of the DF-27 has been exceeded8000 km, is a long-range hypersonic ballistic missile.
More than 8000 km range, the end of the Dongfeng-27Mach 15The near-vertical empowerment attack can easily break through the active anti-missile air defense system and carry out precision strikes against moving targets at sea, making it another anti-aircraft carrier blade equipped by the Chinese Rocket Force after the Dongfeng-17, Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26B, and has ultra-long-range strike capabilities.
It has the ability to attack land targets, and has the performance of ultra-long-range attack on moving targets at sea, which means that the DF-27 can be used for ultra-long rangeAustraliaHawaiiAlaskaand other naval and air bases are included in their effective fire coverage.
The DF-27 is both nuclear and conventional, and the warhead can be switched between conventional high-explosive warheads and nuclear warheads, so it has strategic and tactical double strike performance. Considering that the outbreak of a nuclear war between major powers is an extremely terrifying phenomenon, it is also the ultra-long-range of the DF-27Anti-aircraft carrierCapability is its greatest means of deterrence, and it is also the most feared place for other countries' aircraft carrier strike groups.
This ballistic missile, which has a range of more than 8,000 kilometers, can be described as a combination of ground and sea strikes, and is a comprehensive breakthrough in ballistic missile technology, which not only shows the importance of speed and range, but also highlights its flexibility in flight path and penetration capability.
United StatesNaval AssociationThe DF-27 is equipped to reflect China's ongoing efforts to improve its strategic strike capabilities, with strike accuracy of several meters unusually high, terminal attack speeds of Mach 15 and a range of more than 8,000 kilometers covering a wide ocean area.
Dongfeng-27, the huge kinetic energy generated by this high speed, makes it a powerful threat even to heavy warships such as aircraft carriers, and will bring new challenges to the global strategic balance. Even if it is deployed on the mainland, it can carry out strikes against distant targets, especially the aircraft carrier strike group poses a new challenge, and the sea base is currently in service."Aegis"It's very difficult for the system to intercept.
With the deployment of the DF-27, especially the ultra-long-range anti-ship combat capability, it will be able to keep the carrier strike group more than several thousand kilometers away from China's coastline, and the combat capability of the carrier-based fighter wing, which is extremely powerful, will be abolished, and the threat of the carrier strike group to China's coastal and inland areas in wartime will be minimized.
The DF-27 can maneuver and change orbit during the flight, has extremely strong penetration performance, and the threat to land-based targets, especially sea targets, exceeds that of traditional medium and short-range anti-ship ballistic missiles, and can cope with extremely complex naval battlefield scenes and achieve one-hit kills on targets.
With the Dongfeng-27 that came out of nowhere, the first-class defense system built with a lot of money is actually no longer safe. China's missile technology and equipment scale has long been unique in the world, and the 8,000-kilometer ultra-long-range anti-aircraft carrier is the only one in the world, and there is no other branch.
The DF-27 not only strengthens China's military presence in the western Pacific region, but also poses extremely severe new challenges to the strategic layout of the United States and its allies in the region. Its anti-missile air defense system, under the hypersonic penetration strike of the DF-27, will be full of loopholes, and there is no reliable protective umbrella.
Defense News**He was extremely sober-minded about this, and once published a special article claiming that the US military's missile defense program is now in a difficult situation, and it is difficult to deliver a large amount of defense equipment on schedule. Plans to deploy more anti-missile defense systems have run into bogged down, and existing anti-missile air defense is unable to cope with the threat of Chinese long-range hypersonic missiles.
