China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

DoD China Military Power Report should be released soon.

I'll be going straight into submarine section.

For me: DF-26 inventory numbers, possible details on silo build-up, anything on intercontinental-range hypersonic gliders (conventional and nuclear). This year’s report was concluded in December 2020, so nothing on 2021 activities: sad.

would boost its stockpile — currently estimated in the low 200s — to at least 1,000 warheads by the end of the decade

I can't take the report seriously when they write that China has "low 200s" nuclear warheads..

I went to the fighters section and read the estimation of 800 4th gen and stopped reading.

Additionally, sources indicate a “longrange” DF-27 ballistic missile is in development. Official PRC military writings indicate this range-class spans 5,000-8,000km, which means the DF-27 could be a new IRBM or ICBM.

First time I read about that one.
