Today, more than fifty years after its first flight, the Q-5 is still flying.
Here s What You Need To Remember: Like most Communist bloc aircraft, its NATO code name was unflattering (“Fantan”).
Had China gone to war with America or the Soviet Union during the Cold War and after, one of its premier weapons and one that would have dropped nuclear weapons would have been the Nanchang Q-5 bomber.
Like most Communist bloc aircraft, its NATO code name was unflattering (“Fantan”). Its forebears were also less than auspicious: the Q-5 and its cousin, the J-6 fighter, were based on the Soviet MiG-19 (NATO code name “Farmer”), whose intensive maintenance requirements and difficult handling characteristics proved unpopular with the Soviets and many of their allies, such as North Vietnam. But strangely, China proved quite fond of the MiG-19.
Any large-scale nuclear war would threaten all of humanity.
Key point: Both countries’ “No First Use” policies regarding nuclear weapons make the outbreak of nuclear war very unlikely.
A hypothetical war between India and China would be one of the largest and most destructive conflicts in Asia. A war between the two powers would rock the Indo-Pacific region, cause thousands of casualties on both sides and take a significant toll on the global economy. Geography and demographics would play a unique role, limiting the war’s scope and ultimately the conditions of victory.
India and China border one another in two locations, northern India/western China and eastern India/southern China, with territorial disputes in both areas. China attacked both theaters in October 1962, starting a monthlong war that resulted in minor Chinese gains on the ground.
