#2 As per MSM-Net News that the USN wants BMD capabilities on its select future warship classes,

To wit,

CHINESE MIL FORUM > [Xinhua Artic] CHINESE ABM CAN NOW SHOOTDOWN US MINUTEMEN-III ICBMS | CHINA SAYS MISSLE DEFENSE SYSTEM TEST SUCCESSFUL| DAYS OF YANKEE NUCLEAR MISSLE INVULNERABILITY ARE OVER.

Also from CMF > [Sorcha Faal] RUSSIA REPORTS THOUSANDS [approxi 4500-5000] CHINESE TROOPS HAVE "GONE MISSING" INSIDE THE USA???

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PLA SECOND ARTILLERY CORPS TO CREATE NEW "UNDERGROUND GREAT WALL" [deep Mountain Tunplexes?]TO DEFEND AGZ ANTI-EARTH PENETRATING NUCLEAR BOMBS [read, the USA]. However, the same may induce a SINO-US, etc. "ARMS RACE" as per such devices becuz it takes Scores, 00's, or perhaps 000's to effec destroy these underground -plexes.
