This reminds me of the Quicklaunch concept, which does not use railgun tech. There is more than one way to launch a projectile at hypersonic velocities. The railgun concept may not even be the best concept out there.
Also, consider Maglev technologies for ground transportation as opposed to Elon Musk's ideas for fast ground transportation. Musk's ideas may be superior.
Just saying that even if the Chinese are successful at this, there may be a better way.
Yet this article is doubtful that the Chinese have managed the railgun achievement, and its all hype.
There is more to say on this, besides. Such an attack concept would not be useful against moving targets unless the object has some maneuvering capability.
Chinese warship with high-tech 'railgun' sets sail but here's why you should be skeptical of its capabilities https://t.co/LOiHqPMQV5— Greg Meadows (@BootsandOilBlog) January 3, 2019
