Following the Washington Post stated that China was suspected of launching a well in Yumen, the New York Times quoted the satellite image of the think tank person on July 26, and China was suspected to have built 110 launcher nuclear missiles in the Hami region of XinjiangThe launch well.
According to the New York Times, the suspected launch well opened in March this year and is located in eastern Xinjiang.The discovery of the image of the US Scientist Federation (Federation of American Scientist) confirmed this discovery based on the images returned by many satellites in Planet Labs.
The New York Times analysis said that this may mean a large -scale expansion of the Chinese nuclear arsenal. China is ready to have the same arsenal as the United States and Russia.Creative but cost -effective "negotiation strategy.
Research and Analysts of the American Scientist Federation Corda and Hans M. Kristensen wrote in a research report on the new launching well: "The construction of the launch wells of Yumen and Hami is the Chinese nuclear arsenalThere is the most significant expansion in history. "
reported that in general, this huge construction base covers an area of about 480 square kilometers, which is similar to the area of Yumen bases in the desert.
The National Security Council refused to comment on evidence of China's nuclear expansion.
The Washington Post 1 on the 1st based on the satellite image report obtained by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, 119 are almost the same as 119 in both desert areas in the west and southwestern parts of Yumen and southwest of Gansu.The construction site, its characteristics are similar to the existing nuclear warhead ballistic missile launch facilities.
Lewis, the director of the East Asian Disposal Project of the Research Center, believes that these launch wells may be designed for the Dongfeng-41 Intercontinental ballistic missile.
In this regard, the reference news of the Xinhua News Agency stated that the satellite picture quoted by the above report "exposes the biggest flaw of the entire report": There is a line on the right side of the picture saying "Gansu Yumen Wind Power Power Power"Yumen Gansu Windfarm), and American researchers and related reports seem to ignore this.
The article also said that some people enlarge the satellite pictures on the map software and found that there are row of wind turbines erected, and the shadow on the ground clearly shows the outline of the leaves.
Search on a map software in China, there are several wind power fields in that fan -shaped area. There is also a graphic report on the site of the Yumen City Government's website.
The article states that it is not difficult to see from the satellite map that the distribution of "launch wells" is dense, which is obviously unreasonable, because the intercontinental missile launch venue occupies a wide range of places, and it must be widely distributed to avoid being attacked by the enemy.destroy.
