Someone know how many DF-26 units ??? I see 72 launchers in some sources, is it the number of units ?The basic load for the DF-26 is three missiles. Typically, a DF-26 unit consists of one launcher and two reload vehicles. After firing the initial three missiles, the unit requires resupply in order to continue operations.

In 2023/2024, the Pentagon said 250 DF-26 launchers, spread across 7? Brigades.
IIRC, it was also about 500 DF-26 missiles in total.

That is interesting. Initially it was 1 missile per launcher.
Then the last estimate I saw was 2 missiles per launcher.
So I'm guessing they continue to build ~100 missiles per year?
And going forward, if the DF-26 and DF-27 share a booster stage, my guess is that they would switch to ~100 DF-27 per year.
