Great Power's Long Sword, Precisely Unsheathed! Rocket Troops Share Details of Intercontinental Missile Launches

In 2024, the Rocket Force was ordered to carry out intercontinental ballistic missile launch missions, this is a training exercise fully aligned with real combat.

Hao Changling, a member of a certain unit of the Rocket Force: Each of these missiles carries our country's dignity, the confidence of our nation, as well as the mission and glory of our Rocket Force officers and soldiers.

In the Rocket Force, behind every display of strength is an unseen duel—competing with opponents, competing with oneself, competing with limits. The only pass to victory is to sweat during others' rest time and to set standards in places others deem unreachable.

Ma Xiaohua, a member of a certain unit of the Rocket Force: After receiving the mission, all the officers and soldiers in the battalion had only one thought in mind: we must accomplish it.

The officers and soldiers are rigorously honing their skills under extreme conditions. The more stringent the training is during peacetime, the greater the chances of success in wartime.

Hao Changling, a member of a certain unit of the Rocket Force: We will simulate launches after being attacked, conduct all-weather launches, and the operators may be randomly grouped. This method of having one person perform multiple roles, including the lowest combat positions, is being adopted. Through this evolution, I feel that we are becoming increasingly integrated with the battlefield.

Ma Xiaohua, a member of a certain unit of the Rocket Force: Unfamiliar regions and harsh environments present us with significant challenges, but they are also a good opportunity to test our daily training levels. No matter how tough the challenge, we will "bite" it down.

Wang Zhongzhu, a member of a certain unit of the Rocket Force: What we hold in our hands are the heavy weapons of a great nation, and there can be no mistakes in the launch.

In extreme environments, the great nation's long sword is drawn with precision, without a margin of error. On September 25, 2024, the Rocket Force successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile into the relevant high seas of the Pacific Ocean.

The great nation's long sword soared into the sky, reaching the distant ocean. This is the hard-core strength of the Rocket Force's all-domain deterrence and readiness to fight at any time, and it is also a solemn declaration of China's strategic confidence in the new era.

Zhao Jing, a member of a certain unit of the Rocket Force: When it launched, I felt it right in front of my eyes; that excitement is beyond words. Our mission truly reflects our combat capabilities; we have this confidence and ability to support the various tasks entrusted to us by the country, and we can also uphold the hopes that the country and the people have placed in us.
