"Chinese researchers reveal the Jinglei-1 (JL-1) missile outperforms all US and Russian air-launched nuclear systems with 8,000km range but remains limited by 1950s-era H-6N bomber technology. The analysis from Ordnance Industry Science Technology magazine highlights China's nuclear triad completion amid platform constraints."

A Chinese military magazine analysis reveals the Jinglei-1 (JL-1) missile completes China's nuclear triad and outperforms US systems with its 8,000km range and hypersonic capability. However, the weapon is constrained by its carrier, the aging H-6N strategic bomber, which lacks stealth and modern penetration capabilities.
