Can't they share some of the high definition camera tech with civilian companies, so I don't have to buy Canon or Nikon?

same same, my friend.
haha, I was going to say that too, but I was to say DF-5B because liquid rocket.
So I imagine in the next parade, they can paint the big fat bombs in white and say this is the new mobile multi-recoverable satellite launcher.

Kinetic-bombardment space weapon.
"A pair of satellites orbiting several hundred miles above the Earth would serve as a weapons system. One functions as the targeting and communications platform while the other carries numerous tungsten rods--up to 20 feet in length and a foot in diameter--that it can drop on targets with less than 15 minutes' notice. When instructed from the ground, the targeting satellite commands its partner to drop one of its darts. The guided rods enter the atmosphere, protected by a thermal coating, traveling at 36,000 feet per second--comparable to the speed of a meteor. The result: complete devastation of the target, even if it's buried deep underground. (The two-platform configuration permits the weapon to be "reloaded" by just launching a new set of rods, rather than replacing the entire system.)"

Not much information on the CZ-11 but one source has the rocket length at more than 18m, this compared to the 13m of the DF-31A.

Thanks. The CZ-11 is the real deal because it is solid-fueled.
Here it is !! ... looks like a "version" of an ICBM (DF-31 ??) ... By the way is there somewhere a summary of CHina's rocket systems ... I'm really lost a bit !

Yes, thanks. It comes with a sheath.
The CZ-11 will be China's second solid-fueled space launch vehicle (SLV), the first being the Kuaizhou.
