Russian military website yesterday posted satellite photos showing two giant cannons mounted on the concrete pad and questioned the Chinese used them to test high-speed bullet a range.
The photographs appearing in the first period 9/ 2010 to 12/2011 . Images taken from satellites confirmed 7/ 2013 guns remained in that position .
China has traditionally interested in making long-range artillery . In 1970 , China tested the super cannon Xianfeng in projects 640 interceptor missiles . The program was canceled in 1980 .
In the 1990s . China has built the pedestal test , similar to Babylon 's super cannon Iraq by the Canadian engineer Gerald Bull design . Mr. Bull in 1980 has actively participated in the design of ultra- far -aircraft system of China . This work by the Department implemented the design of high radiation .
Artillery in the city of Baotou ( Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region , China ) have the same design as Babylon - theoretically could reach targets in ultra distance away , or shoot down satellites fly in funds low direct .
Although antiaircraft systems on the same concept as his super cannon Bull , but more likely China will not use them for making super-telephoto range or high radiation conducted anti-satellite activities , because they have invented ballistic missiles for this purpose .
According to the Russian network conditions , China can use this device to test old artillery shells great destructive power . In addition, the device can also be a prototype electromagnetic guns .
