Re: DF-41 Missile\
I would have prefer if he asked if DF-41 existed at all. But then, I think that would be too much to ask

Re: DF-41 Missile\
I didn't see any DF-31A, so where did you see them? What I saw was 12 DF-31 TEL's, and that was the biggest missile launcher at the parade.

Re: DF-41 Missile\
well he probably meant several DF-31, and several types of missiles (ICBM, MRBM, SRBM). Of course they did only show one type of intercontinental missile
yeah, we only did get to see plain old DF-31 (something that showed in 1999 parade). No DF-41, no JL-2. Not even DF-31A. Remember that report from xinhua a month ago, saying that those missiles would show up? that goes to show that regarding PLA, we can only believe what we see.

Re: DF-41 Missile\
DF-31A is simply a modified version of DF-31, they use the same chassis. It's the same idea that there are no obvious visible differences between the Russian S-300 and S-400 missile system, even though they're different systems.

Re: DF-41 Missile\
That's road testing track for the vehicle, and that vehicle has appeared in many other photos as well so it's nothing new.. The cylinder looks identical for the ones housing DF-31/31A missiles, so I think they're just testing a new TEL vehicle for DF-31A, since the current TEL vehicle for DF-31A has very limited off-road capability.

Re: DF-41 Missile\
If that pic was photoshopped, then this one must be as well. OR, they could be genuine pics of a new TEL for DF-31A or the TEL for DF-41. I'm thinking the two pics are very well within the realms of possibility. It's not too crazy for China to be testing a new TEL, and these two pics of TEL's are very very similar.
