China has constructed giant targets of U.S. warships, including an aircraft carrier, at a desert range site in the country’s central region, apparently as an aid for practicing attack missions. According to the U.S. Naval Institute, China’s military also built full-scale representations of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers inside the training area in the Ruoqiang region. The site had been previously been used to test the Chinese navy’s DF-21D “carrier killer” anti-ship ballistic missile.
