China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

[silkroute]

Hello to all!
I'm new here and did find yet any comments on dramatic expansion of the solid motor production facilities near Xian.
Looks like ballistic missile production may double very soon

Is that right?

Guy who posted this video on mp.net claims this is from recent exercise and they are still training with DF-3A.


interesting one.

2nd arty training

Really impressive defenses.

DF-4 is still better than anything India has (operational) and it is proven IRBM. Enough to deter India. Why would you "waste" your DF-31/A to deter India ?

Nice.

Are those books talking about the rumored df-41 and the new MRBM??

There are clues.

The funny thing is that non-classified Chinese publications always refers to new missiles as 'certain new strategic missile', 'certain long-range missile', etc. The true designation is only unveiled when it becomes obsolete or retired (or if it’s a short-range missile available for export). Funny to read DF-3/4/5 been named as they are while DF-31 is simply ‘solid land-based intercontinental missile’. So there’s a good chance that the new ICBM’s designation is not DF-41 at all.

There are speculations though, that the new missile is not an SS-24/MX class heavy ICBM, but more likely a 50~60 tons one cause there are clues indicating the new missile is still road-mobile, which restricts its weight.

As to the MRBM, all we’ve heard is a Guam-ranged missile (so an IRBM actually) test launched in late 2011.

Thank for your reply.
Will the new strategic missile be mirv capable?
Are there project to replace the DF-5 by a new silo-based missile?
What about JL-2A/3 and hypersonic weapon development??

I've so many questions for you

 

[Hyperwarp]

Just saw this at CDF: DF-21C? Or is DF-21D?

How come that thing has tail fins? That would suggest it's not a canister launched missile, at least I don't know any canister launched missile with tail fins.

The tailfins are foldable as shown in one of the fins in the above picture.
