US media released a Google Earth satellite images, saying it is in the north, a base of 094 nuclear submarines, there are two missile launch tube was open.
Federation of American Scientists official website March 2, 2010 published the article entitled ” 094 'Jin' class ballistic missile submarine missile launch tube debut“ by the U.S. missile expert Hans M. Kristensen, , the article mentioned that "Jin" class (Type 094) ballistic missile submarine is preparing to assemble JL-2 submarine-based ballistic missiles, nuclear submarines of this class, or would soon be deployed to replace the old-fashioned "Summer"-class nuclear submarines; The article also commented that China's strategic nuclear submarine is the world's largest nuclear submarine noise at sea is likely vulnerable to attack.
First, the article said that in March 2009, when China two new "Jin"-class ballistic missile submarine in a Quwang a base, his shooting (satellite) photographs showed that the submarine's 12 missile launch tube, there are two open.
Articles pointed out, "Jin"-class ballistic missile submarine is preparing to assemble JL-2 missile, which is a single-warhead, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the most recent test was in May 2008; "Jin" class ballistic missile or will soon deploy nuclear-powered submarines to replace the old-fashioned service from the old-fashioned 1982's "Summer" class submarine.
Hans - Christensen wrote in the text, in 2007, somewhere north of the Chinese naval base, the first time he confirmed the "Jin"-class ballistic missile submarine (of existence), where for the new submarines and equipment for outfitting testing, there is also the only one "golf" class (Golf-class, 031 type) diesel-powered submarines of the home port for many years, the submarine responsible for China's first species (submarine-launched) ballistic missile launching test platform role.
The article also speculated that the U.S. media, two or three "Jin"-class ballistic missile submarine is already in the construction of state, the U.S. intelligence agencies speculated that China will build five of the submarine. The article also commented that China's nuclear submarine appears is the world's largest nuclear submarine noise at sea it can be very vulnerable.
Christensen is also mentioned in the text, the U.S. Navy Intelligence Agency (US Office of Naval Intelligence, called US ONI) described in the August 2009 said that China 2 ballistic missile submarine (probably one of "Jin" level, one is the "Summer" level) stationed somewhere in the North Sea Fleet base, while the third vessel (probably is the second ship, "Jin" class submarine) submarine stationed in the South China Sea Fleet base in Hainan somewhere. Christensen writes: "I was in February 2008 confirmed that boats in Hainan 'Jin' class ballistic missile submarine."
The article mentioned at the end, the Obama administration during the first "China Military Power Report," is expected to be announced later next month or two months.
US media release an original Google Earth satellite images, saying it is in the north, a base of 094 nuclear submarines, there are two missile launch tube was open. Legend wrote that this picture was taken date is March 20, 2009.
