At this point I’m convinced US intelligence has no grasp on what’s going on in China and their “sources” are making shit up and laughing.
Apparently, China’s rocket force is taking the solid fuel from the missiles to make hot pot and replacing it with water because there wasn’t enough money to buy butane.
Supposedly, the chunks of solid fuel were able to burn at a consistent rate in open air despite burn rate of solid fuels being dependent on surface area and pressure.
