China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

1. MIRVs 2. How do you know how many TELs are parked indoors? 3. China launches 100+ rockets per year including 'solid state launch vehicles' which have nearly zero commercial advantage over liquid fueled (but are much better for launching 'payloads' without preparation). Any orbital launch...

Apparently two of these were launched under complex EW conditions and both successfully hit defended targets several hundreds of kilometres away. A replacement for DF-16? Or DF-16 with a new tip instead of the old bullet shaped tip?

Indeed, China bought 10's of 1000's of tons in uranium from open market since last decade taking full advantage of falling prices due to confluence of Fukushima disaster and Russian-US megaton to megawatt deal. Once these uranium crossed Chinese border, no questions asked about their whereabouts or status, and no need to say or explain anything on China's part as well. One of the perks of being a P5.

your claim of " ...... Once these uranium crossed Chinese border, no questions asked about their whereabouts or status, and no need to say or explain anything on China's part as well. One of the perks of being a P5"

Really? where did you get that? any links?

The missile tip looks different. I don't recall seeing that slightly yellow cone on a DF-15 before. I wonder if that might be some kind of new radio wave transparent material.

Maybe a new terminal seeker?

According to NPT. IAEA safety, oversight and inspection doesn't apply to original P5 within their national borders. They can do whatever they want within their borders, but not outside of their borders, which is the main point of NPT. Per NPT, P5 obligations are all beyond their borders. But all P5 have their own national safety standards, organizations and training for procuring, processing, etc, for the whole fuel cycle. France may be under Euratom treaty as well even though they are not under IAEA inspection. Hope this helps.

Rocket Force recently tested two new missiles that can overcome “complex electromagnetic interference” to destroy facilities in a “fast-reaction” operation.

“[The missiles] successfully hit the target in an enemy camp equipped with multilayer defences several hundred kilometres away and effectively paralysed the enemy’s key communications node,” CCTV reported.

How does that new missile work?
Is it specifically targeting enemy Comms? Does it detonate an EMP above enemy comms?
