China has successfully tested a weapon of mass destruction, capable of destroying London and other European cities in just 30 minutes. The long-range nuclear ballistic missile, called the Dongfeng-41, is thought to the world’s most powerful to-date and can carry up to 10 warheads over a distance of 7,450 miles – making it capable of destroying several cities at once in just 30 minutes flat. Mirror.co.uk reports: This would mean Beijing could destroy the whole of London – which is slightly more than 5,000 miles from the Chinese capital – or wipe out any city in the West.
