a good analysis here of DF-26 variants

作为新一代中远程弹道导弹的代表，东风-26系列弹道导弹是一种核常兼备的固体中远程弹道导弹，射程可达5000公里左右，基本达到远程弹道导弹的射程门槛。
东风-26型导弹首次曝光于2015年九三阅兵式上。东风-26型导弹研制周期10年，2013年基本定型，2014年实现了核常兼备，2015年具备了打击海上大型移动目标的实战能力。
东风-26型导弹既可搭载常规弹头也可搭载核弹头；东风-26型导弹的发射准备的时间更短、反应速度更快；东风-26型导弹的打击精度更高，可以有效对各种点目标实施打击。
这次即将亮相的东风-26D型弹道导弹是该系列导弹的第四款，前三款A、B、C型分别以核弹头型、常规弹头型以及远程反舰型命名。作为特殊的改进型号，特种打击以及突防性能会作为其改进方向加以突破。
东风-26系列弹道导弹采用无依托机动发射，既有高度机动性，也无需堆发射阵地没进行提前布置，更有利快速展开、快速发射、快速转移，提高导弹的生存能力和突发打击能力。
在弹头方面采用了双锥体弹头、气动舵末端机动等技术，具备了很强的机动能力和打击精度。
运载体可适配多种战斗部。既包括核常两种弹头，也包括以不同毁伤机理打击特定目标的多种常规弹头，如侵彻弹、穿爆弹、云爆弹等。
即使面对对方的反导拦截系统，也可以锋芒毕露，与射程更远的洲际导弹形成打击梯次，在中等射程上，实现超高精度的打击，有效的维护我国的战略安全

A variant - nuclear
B variant - regular
C variant - anti-ship
D variant - some special new version

read through, some interesting stuff in there

Might have gotten this wrong, but they are essentially pointing to the D variant being a bunker-buster?

do they not clean the boosters up?

They will, eventually. But it’s hardly going to be a high priority task that they would waste significant resources to do asap.

There isn’t anything remotely sensitive in those boosters, so they will probably rely on locals reporting sightings for recovery as opposed to sending assets to specifically search for them. At most they might turn them into an Easter egg hunt training exercise for their recon units to see who can be the first to fine the boosters in the desert with their ISR assets. Seems like maybe the locals have decided to do their own Easter egg hunts and made into its own little niche tourism pull.

What kind of terminal seeker does the anti-ship variant have? Typically Cruise missiles have Radar seekers. I wonder if that will work on a hypersonic missile.

INS & TERCOM + Active radar homing in terminal phase.

doubt, most of the stuff that makes a missile anti ship nuclear or anything else is its warhead not the missile itself.

Is there any proof that these are the actual designations?
