It was confirmed on CCTV English and they interviewed general Zhu Chenghu about a new ICBM that was tested.

Live in denial all you want, but the DF-41 is real.

Deal with it mate.

I would like to see the interview either...

A story on a conventional SRBM unit. In 1993 when the unit was formed to be equiped with the first non-nuclear SRBM, they lacked everything. the soldiers were practicing launching processes with paper cartons imitating their actual equipment, even the buttons were painted on these cartons. Today, these boxes have been preciously kept in the unit museum and simulators are widely used in the trainings.

We can see the DF-11, DF-11A, DF-15 and the its latest version DF-15B with millimeter terminal guidance radar.

I would take any article written by Hans Kristensen with a gob of salt . He is well known China skeptic. He is the same person who said Chinese Submarine was noisy when asked how he come to this conclusion . He said he got it from navy sources without elaborating which sources.

That's why I did wrote that I don't agree with him in everything.

HK claims that both DF-31 and DF-31A use same 300kt warhead, but looking pictures of these missiles it's clear that there is different size warheads in use, I think it's very possible that DF-31A is armed with MIRV's.

Advisory body makes plan for top-level design

The Expert Advisory Committee (also referred to as "the Committee") of the Second Artillery Force (SAF) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) was established in 2004. The Committee is designed to provide advice and recommendations for the heads of the SAF in missile weapons’ long-term development planning, project approval verification, R&D supervision, and examination of finalized design.

Pooling together a large number of scientific research elites including academicians from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and senior experts in missile research, the Committee has submitted 100-odd advisory reports to the leading organs of the SAF, becoming an indispensable "think tank" at the decision-making level for the SAF.

Dozens of laboratories support core technology innovation

In recent years, the Armaments Department of the SAF has build up dozens of key laboratories and initially established an integrated system of scientific research and experiments.

These laboratories, like high-quality "incubators", have given birth to a large number of key technologies. These increasingly perfected laboratories have achieved technological breakthroughs of more than 10 important research programs, ensuring a number of important types of missiles to be produced as scheduled.

Why has China not conducted more anti-ballistic missile tests? It has conducted only one test against another incoming missile.

It's time to do nuclear bomb tests on the moon. No atmosphere, no life and no problems for any environmental concerns.
