China missile test spotted in Beijing: Depressed trajectory defeats anti-missile defense system

China might have performed a depressed trajectory ballistic missile test. Part 2 of videos and analysis: Chinese netizens have been calling it “Rocket cloud“, and it is not rare to witness it ​as Taiyuan launch facility is in a location that Beijing residents can easily spot missile/rocket launches. In this clip, you can see the missile flying across the sky of Beijing. It clearly has a depressed trajectory comparing previous launches people witnessed. A lady said in the clip: “I think it is a missile.“ And the missile quickly dropped behind the horizon. The benefit of depressed trajectory is the missile can reach target much quicker. The bright curve is the contrail of rocket motors, lightened up by sunlight behind the horizon. Some people call it “Fire dragon“, twisted by atmosphere movement. “Fire dragon“ is quite common for people in the right direction and around low-light period of a day. U
