Conventional prompt strike was going to be like that, but of course America attempted to be "cheap" and use ICBM's and thus caused the problem of them thinking it could be seen as a nuclear attack, unlike IRBM's.

But weren't Americans/Russians prohibited from pursuing IRBMs by treaty?

Yes,1980's INF Treaty which banned US Pershing and Soviet SS20 IRBM's and prohibited development and deployment of missiles 1000km-5500 km range-I truly hope China NEVER signs anything so stupid like INF and Washington Naval Treaty.And now China has the world's largest,most advanced,most numerous and most comprehensive SRBM/IRBM forces-a great asset to say the least in this ever dangerous times.

a good analysis here of DF-26 variants


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

read through, some interesting stuff in there

Interesting that they used the word surprise. I heard them use this earlier in reference to a munition that splits in 2.

E.g. Imagine you have a DF-26 incoming and you launch an ABM missile at it, just to find that it’s actually 2 warheads, quite the surprise.
