The "Great Wall" - Underground: Beijing Revealed a Massive Missile Network

China has revealed in rare footage an extensive underground network for hiding missiles, command centers, aircraft, and supplies. The system, known as "China's Great Wall Underground," is designed to allow the military to continue operating even after a widespread aerial and missile attack, while improving the survivability of forces.

China has revealed in rare footage an extensive underground network designed to protect missiles, command centers, aircraft, and supplies, and to allow the military to continue operating even after a widespread aerial and missile attack. The most well-known part of the infrastructure is called "China's Great Wall Underground," and it is primarily associated with China's strategic missile forces. The system includes tunnels and fortified facilities for hiding missiles, protecting them, moving them, and preparing them for action. This approach differs from reliance on fixed missile bases and makes it difficult for an enemy to locate mobile launchers and support equipment. The concept is similar to strategies implemented by Iran and North Korea. The protection is especially important for maintaining the connection between the political leadership and operational headquarters, air force bases, naval forces, and missile and air defense units. China has also established underground facilities for conventional forces to protect aircraft, missiles, ammunition, fuel, and personnel. Moving military aircraft to fortified shelters reduces their vulnerability to precision strikes.
