Get the Scoop on China's Most Dangerous Missiles
Here's a lowdown on the world's deadliest weapons right in our backyard - China's arsenal. India, surrounded by plenty of neighbors, knows better than most about the dynamics of friendly and hostile relationships. As we navigate through this, let's focus on one particular neighbor with a powerful military and a menacing missile - China.
China's Lethal Missiles - DF-41 and More
China owns the DF-41, one of the most lethal missiles globally. It's an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) rumored to have a range of 12,000 to 15,000 kilometers, placing targets in the US within its reach. Given China's history, it's believed that this missile was developed to hit the US in case relations take aturn for the worse.
The DF-41 - A Game Changer
The DF-41 was officially added to the Chinese military arsenal in 2017. Reports claim that China has both mobile launchers and rail-based versions of this missile, making it difficult to track and a massive threat.
Interestingly, China tested a missile of this caliber after a long 44-year hiatus - the last test was in 1980 with the DF-5 missile.
China's Deadly Missile Lineup - More than Just the DF-41
Apart from the DF-41, China boasts the DF-26, often called the 'Guam Killer,' as it can reach the US military base in Guam. This missile is capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional weapons and has a range of up to 5,000 kilometers. It's powerful enough to sink American aircraft carriers.
China's arsenal also includes other advanced missiles like the hypersonic DF-17, the DF-26, and the DF-5B, making China a formidable military force.
On the Horizon - DF-41 in Context
Recent news has focused more on the DF-5B, another ICBM with MIRV capabilities and a range of 12,000 km. It's part of China's nuclear modernization efforts, reflecting the country's commitment to enhancing long-range strike capabilities. While the DF-41 may slip under the news radar, its advanced capabilities make it an essential component of China's military might. However, specific updates on its current status and recent developments remain scarce in the latest reports.
