China ICBM/SLBM, nuclear arms thread

[FairAndUnbiased]

Would PLARF replace old DF31/A to this AG version, it seems AG is much more advanced and modern

Even DF-41 is bigger, longer ranged and better, I think DF-31AG is still needed to increase the deterrence and to more complicate the defense of the adversaries .

Anybody has a rumour of how many DF-31AG are in service now in 2025 ?

I think they're moving the old DF-31s to silos and having DF-31AG as the "medium" ICBM while DF-41 is the "heavy" ICBM.

What is the rationale putting "old" DF-31 into the silo? did you mean DF-31 or DF-31A ?

nobody knows the exact information.

there is also heavy silo based DF-5B/DF-5C ICBMs..

as per US report, China deployed DF-41 in newly constructed silos.
