J stands for 井, which implies 发射井, or “launch silos”. It means a DF-31B （东风31乙）designed specifically for silos. It confirms previous analyses pointing to those ICBMs loaded into the wind farms being DF-31s. Since it is a lot bigger than the previous DF-31A, I would assume that the range of the DF-31BJs would be greater than the 11,700km range proven by the DF-31AG.

?????? This is still a 16-wheeler & looks identical to DF-41..
Alright, what on earth is DF61? They look no different from and appears to share the same TEL/launcher with the DF-41. If it were simply an improvement over DF-41, why not call it DF-41A or DF-41AG?
Sorry, but this still looks no different from the JL-2 shown in 2019.
Its not the real missile though. Just the tube. Even that Tube is likely mock up
i was about to say this.. this is more of like an official announcement that, JL-3 is in active service. a proper SLBM with significant range.
Well, I think the hulls of submarine-launched missiles all look pretty similar. What matters most is whether the internal components have undergone significant improvements. Given the PLA's tradition, I believe it has definitely made substantial enhancements over the Julang-2. However, such performance gains can't be readily apparent from the exterior—at least not from a model's appearance. This model, in my view, is merely a symbol or a billboard.
DF-5C MIRV ICBM..
massively improved as compare DF-5B variant like in range , payload and accuracy.
Another section of the same missile.
