Kina förefaller att testa hur väl deras robotar biter på amerikanernas hangarfartyg. Satellitbilder från Sven Hedins forna inneställe Taklamakan visar något som verkar vara fullskaliga modeller.

China's military has built mockups in the shape of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and other U.S. warships, possibly as training targets, in the desert of Xinjiang, satellite images by Maxar showed on Sunday.
These mockups reflect China's efforts to build up anti-carrier capabilities, specifically against the U.S. Navy, as tensions remain high with Washington over Taiwan and the South China Sea.
The satellite images showed a full-scale outline of a U.S. carrier and at least two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers had been built at what appears to be a new target range complex in the Taklamakan Desert.

The complex has been used for ballistic missile testing, the U.S. Naval Institute reported, quoting geospatial intelligence company All Source Analysis.
Vad skulle nyttan vara? Robotarna träffar väl ett frimärke om de vill , så det känns onödigt att öva på 300 meter modellbåt av plåt.
