Video | Review of the Live-Fire Intercontinental Missile Hardcore Scene! "Our Equipment Can Do It, It Really Works"

On September 25, 2024, at 8:44 AM, the Rocket Force of the People's Liberation Army of China successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a training simulation warhead into the relevant high seas of the Pacific Ocean. Behind this stunning shot is the steadfastness and refinement of countless soldiers.

Zhao Jing is a launcher operator from a certain brigade of the Rocket Force. This launch marks his first real firing opportunity in his 22 years of service. The dangers of the environment and the severity of the tests were unprecedented.

Rocket Force, Zhao Jing: During that time, we often slept only two to three hours a night, but we were very motivated and in great condition. During the actual testing, including status monitoring and standby preparation, we had zero errors and zero mistakes.

As the launch command was given, Zhao Jing calmly pressed the ignition button.

Rocket Force, Zhao Jing: At that moment, when I saw it come out, I was particularly excited and also felt a sense of reluctance. Our equipment is capable, our missiles are capable, we can really do it! We truly have the ability to deliver a decisive blow at critical moments, like a trump card or a hidden ace.
