Chinese Long-Range Missile Force Trains for Combat Survivability

August 15, 2006 :: Jane's Information Group :: News

China’s long-range missile force is training for survivability in the face of enemy attacks, writes David C. Isby in the September 1 issue of Jane’s Missiles and Rockets. He quotes a recent article in the Chinese press, which details how the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) 2nd Artillery Corps is practicing the repair and self-reconstitution of its missile forces. In one recent training exercise, a missile brigade hastily constructed a temporary launch pad after its prepared launch pad was destroyed by enemy attack.

The tactics are also designed to eliminate predictable patterns and trends that may have emerged among the 2nd Artillery Corps.
