China declassified on Wednesday several new types of strategically significant weapon systems, including the nuclear-capable DF-5C intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of striking any part of the Earth.
昨天,中国解密了多款具有重要战略意义的新型武器系统,其中包括可携带核弹头的东风 - 5C(DF-5C)洲际弹道导弹,该导弹能够打击地球上的任何区域。
Upholding a longstanding practice that has been observed in previous parades, the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force unveiled its new strike missiles near the end of a head-turning parade marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
在纪念中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利 80 周年的盛大阅兵式接近尾声时,中国人民解放军火箭军遵循以往阅兵的长期惯例,展示了其新型打击导弹。
Eight types of ballistic missiles paraded down Chang 'an Avenue in central Beijing, including the YJ-21 supersonic ballistic missile, the DF-17 medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile, the DF-26D intermediate-range ballistic missile, the JL-3 submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile, the JL-1 air-launched ballistic missile, as well as the land-based DF-31BJ, DF-61 and DF-5C intercontinental ballistic missiles.
八种弹道导弹在北京中心城区的长安街上驶过,包括鹰击 - 21(YJ-21)超音速弹道导弹、东风 - 17(DF-17)中程高超音速弹道导弹、东风 - 26D(DF-26D)中程弹道导弹、巨浪 - 3(JL-3)潜射洲际弹道导弹、惊雷 - 1(JL-1)空射弹道导弹,以及陆基东风 - 31BJ(DF-31BJ)、东风 - 61(DF-61)和东风 - 5C(DF-5C)洲际弹道导弹。
Each missile designation carries a specific meaning in Chinese: YJ stands for Ying ji, or Eagle Strike; DF, the popularly abbreviated name for Dongfeng, or East Wind; JL for Ju lang, or Massive Wave in the case of submarine-launched missiles; and JL for Jing lei, or Shocking Thunderclap for air-launched missiles.
每种导弹的代号在中文里都有特定含义:YJ 代表 “鹰击”(Ying ji);DF 是 “东风”(Dongfeng)的常用缩写,意为 “东方之风”;在潜射导弹中,JL 代表 “巨浪”(Ju lang),意为 “巨大的波浪”;而在空射导弹中,JL 代表 “惊雷”(Jing lei),意为 “令人震惊的雷声”。
Among them, the JL-3, JL-1, DF-26D, DF-31BJ, DF-61 and DF-5C had previously been classified. Their joint debut indicates China's establishment of its nuclear triad, a reliable nuclear deterrence system with land-, sea- and air-based nuclear retaliation capabilities. This fills a previous gap in China's nuclear arsenal, as the Chinese military lacked a usable air-based nuclear weapon.
其中,巨浪 - 3(JL-3)、惊雷 - 1(JL-1)、东风 - 26D(DF-26D)、东风 - 31BJ(DF-31BJ)、东风 - 61(DF-61)和东风 - 5C(DF-5C)此前均处于保密状态。它们的集体亮相标志着中国已建立 “三位一体” 核力量 —— 这是一套具备陆基、海基和空基核反击能力的可靠核威慑体系。这填补了中国核武库此前的一项空白,此前中国军队缺乏可投入使用的空基核武器。
In addition to these strategic missiles, the parade showcased the CJ-1000 vehicle-mounted supersonic cruise missile, the YJ-18C ship-launched cruise missile, and the YJ-21 air-launched ballistic missile, demonstrating the PLA's enhanced capability for long-range precision assaults from various dimensions.
除上述战略导弹外,此次阅兵还展示了长剑 - 1000(CJ-1000)车载超音速巡航导弹、鹰击 - 18C(YJ-18C)舰射巡航导弹和鹰击 - 21(YJ-21)空射弹道导弹,彰显出中国人民解放军在多维度远程精确打击方面的能力提升。
Four new types of hypersonic strike missiles — YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20 — were also displayed, highlighting the Navy's ability to carry out ultrafast, long-distance precision strikes on hostile ships and land targets, according to the PLA.
中国人民解放军表示,此次还展示了四种新型高超音速打击导弹 —— 鹰击 - 15(YJ-15)、鹰击 - 17(YJ-17)、鹰击 - 19(YJ-19)和鹰击 - 20(YJ-20),这凸显出中国海军具备对敌方舰艇和地面目标实施超高速、远距离精确打击的能力。
