at 13min 56s, on the screen of a simulator, there is a sequence flight of the missile, in which we see the expressions "releasing of speed decoys" and "reentry decoys releasing" thus confirming that the ICBM has at least two types of decoys
Excellent I have been telling those patriots Chinese ICBM carries decoys and those ABM test is of questionable value since they don't represent real live conditions. By now there should be 4 or 5 brigades of DF31A

It's a common knowledge that all modern ICBMs are carrying penaids, I have yet to seen anyone who claims otherwise.
This is years old pic, but could someone translate what it says?
- If PRC has thousands of warheads, why are they hiding them? Hiding them does not help deterrence and since PRC is not planning to first strike anyone...
- PRC insist they have smallest arsenal among the P5 nations. I don't see any reason to doubt their word.
- Pentagon says the same, and they certainly have no reason to hide any information about PRC nukes. Thousands of PRC nukes would be jackpot for pentagon.
Is there any common sense argument favoring the claim that PRC has more nukes than they tell?

Did you know the difference between penetration aid and decoy? Nowhere does it says anything about penetration aid .
China never officially disclosed the number of missile or warhead that they have. Out of modesty and unnecessarily alarmed the neighboring country China did said they only have small number of warhead but small can mean different thing for different people.
US and the west have no access whatsoever to China nuclear stockpile. And every analyst regurgitate the same false analysis based on outdated study done by who else your friend Jeffrey Lewis who is neither nuclear physicist nor ever set foot on defense establishment .
