China's military capabilities are back in the spotlight after footage showing a DF-26B ballistic missile striking a mock-up of a US aircraft carrier circulated widely online. The CCTV-branded video appears to show a missile launch followed by a massive explosion at a desert testing facility. The weapon has been identified online as China's DF-26B, an anti-ship variant of the Dongfeng-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile, capable of carrying conventional or nuclear warheads.
