China’s military has built a fake US Navy aircraft carrier and other warships for possible missile target practice, according to new satellite images published Sunday.
The images, captured by Colorado-based satellite imagery company Maxar Technologies, show a full-scale outline of a carrier and at least two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers at what appears to be a new target range complex in the Taklamakan Desert, part of China’s notorious Xinjiang province.
One of the mockups included the funnels and weapons systems featured on the destroyers, according to an analysis by the US Naval Institute.
The fake warships also appeared to be mounted on railway tracks in an apparent effort to keep them mobile.
The complex where the mockups were seen is close to a former target range China previously used for ballistic missile testing.

We have some China warship targets too !!!!! Get used to it !!!!
And sleepy Joe and his bunch keep right on kissing China’s ass.
Nothing new here….weve been doing the same thing for decades. We just dont advertise it. Or should i say we should never “report” to our adversaries what WE are doing.
