According to the report, a volley of nuclear warheads from the fleet of Jin-class submarines could wipe out between five and 12 million US citizens. The bloodcurdling estimate has now resurfaced in the wake of more intense tensions in South China SeaChina Sea.
And there is a growing concern the Chinese would get involved if the U.S. military announced a full invasion of the island. Should the US ever clash with China, experts have warned the conflict could go nuclear. According to a report compiled by the US Economic Security Review Commission, China's submarine fleet has the ability to strike practically anywhere in the United States. China's JL 2 submarines have a range of approximately 4,598 miles, which puts them within reach of a nuclear strike on Alaska if launched from Chinese waters.
If launched from waters south of Japan, the submarine could strike Hawaii if it reached Hawaii or the Pacific Ocean. - All 50 U.S. states would be exposed if that submarine went into oceans near Hawaii. The CCP bragged about the power of its submarines in a 2013 article sponsored by the Chinese regime. The article looked at a scenario in which 20 nuclear warheads were dropped on the US. China's mock Taipei is evidence of preparation for war REPORT Xi Jinping sparks fury after Queen confronts leaders INSIGHT The new defence pact with Australians will start World War 3 COMMENT It was accompanied by a graphic depicting the destructive effect of China's intercontinental ballistic missiles striking Los Angeles, which had a population of more than three million in 2013. The Chinese article read: After a nuclear missile hits a city, the radioactive dust produced by 20 warheads will be spread around the wind, forming a contaminated area for thousands of kilometers. The survival probability for people in the outdoors in a 746 to 870 mile radius is basically zero. Based on the actual level of China s one million tons TNT equivalent small nuclear warhead technology, the 12 JL 2 nuclear missiles carried by one JIN nuclear submarine would cause the destruction of five million to 12 million people, forming a very clear deterrent effect.
