DF-31AG. Looks like we will have to wait until 2019 parade to see the DF-41

How you recognize the variant ? surely tiny details

I assume you mean the difference between DF-31AG and DF-41? DF-41 canister is much larger especially in-terms of length

2 "right-angle pipes" in the side of the missile canister, the canister is longer, the TEL is offroad-capable (big wheels).

At least 16 TELs of the new mobile ICBM DF-31AG are appearing in Zhurihe. Note the launch base of the missile, very interesting.

Sure all DF-31AG ?

This picture should invalidate western analyst pipe dream that China only has 30 ICBM. Hans Kristensen, Jeffrey Lewis, Sino Soldier where are you

I thought that China still had only 20 ICBMs, I would have lied to myself? These captures show two types of mobile ICBM, DF-31A and DF-31AG.

Probably the DF-41 still hasnt entered service. I wonder if DF-31AG is a backup program against possible failure of the DF-41 program. Why would china waste resources developing DF-31AG if it has a more capable DF-41 already in development? DF-31AG seems like the DF-31 cannister in the DF-41 truck.

we are seeing the trucks. But how do we know if those trucks have missiles inside? Its far more easy to build a truck than to build a missile. If china built 1000 trucks, would people believe that china has 1000 ICBM´s ?

Note the launch base of the missile, very interesting.

what is so interesting? i see nothing unusual in a TEL truck.

Seems in service maybe not completely operationnals i means " IOC ".

2 Brigades up to 24 TELs composed of 4 - 6 bataillons each have 2 batteries with each a TEL and can have 1 reload by TEL, maybe soon for reloads coz recent DF-41 production and weapons enough expensive...

It is always necessary to be careful in this kind of default estimates ofc.

On January 23, 2017, China was reported to have deployed a strategic ballistic missile

All ICBMs in the parade are DF-31 variants (6 rows of 4). There are 8 - DF-31A (2 rows of 4) and 16 - DF-31AG (4 rows of 4).
