Could China use a high-speed ‘doomsday train’ to launch nuclear missiles?


High-speed rail is being considered as a potential launch platform for nuclear strikes after a new study by Chinese researchers suggested it was more suitable than previously thought.

In China, these trains travel up to 350km/h (217mph). These trains are slim, with up to 16 carriages each weighing about 60 tonnes.
