LOOKS LIKE A SHIPPING CONTAINER BUT IT’S ACTUALLY CHINA’S NEW MISSILE THAT COULD HIT JAPAN
A Chinese startup just dropped a hypersonic missile that flies at Mach 7, dodges threats, launches from shipping containers, and ends its promo video by aiming straight at Japan.
The YKJ-1000 isn’t coming from a state-run defense giant, it was developed by a private Chinese firm called Space Transportation (or Lingkong Tianxing if you’re a local).
The company says it can mass-produce hypersonic missiles at just 10% of what traditional military manufacturers charge.
That means faster, cheaper, and potentially more unpredictable weapons – and it’s coming from outside China’s usual state-controlled arms industry.
The missile reportedly has an 800-mile range, can adjust its own flight path mid-air, and may eventually come with AI.
It’s also deployable from what looks like a basic cargo box. So yes, your next shipping container could be a missile silo.
The C-suite wars just went supersonic.
