Absolutely amazed by the fact -if true-that the DF21xx series missile system is being retired as it seems only yesterday that it was touted by friends and enemies alike as a symbol of Chinese missile prowess and the "spear/shield to ward off the USN/japan.IF true the successor to the DF21 would be at least 1 generation ahead and very formidable indeed ...but do keep the usable DF21's in China's quiver in worst case future.
Patchyboi mentioned like 2 years ago they're standardizing on DF-26 & 17 (& I guess DF-27 soon), looks like it's true.

I think it is now safe to say that DF-21 series has retired from active deployment, with confirmation via news/videos that the last remaining DF-21D is being replaced by more advanced missile.

You may still see in official photo release but used as trainer or for test.

DF-21s are still advanced !

Is China putting them on reserve ?

Four months later on April 20, another operational test of IRBM with identical drop zones.

View attachment 128357
Once again! Identical drop zone on June 14 with three launch windows. It looks like PLARF now has an IRBM readiness test on monthly basis. It shouldn't be a surprise that it operates close to 10 brigades of IRBM.

Finally a NOTAM never seen before, looks like an experimental missile test with two launch windows from JSLC.
