Strategic Weapons: China Produces A Guam Killer
September 8, 2014: China recently revealed (apparently by accident) the existence of the DF-26 IRBM (Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile.) This one appears to have a range of 3,500 kilometers and based on the earlier DF-21.
There have been reports of such a missile since 2007 and the DF-26C appears to have been in service for several years. The DF-26C is notable because it has the range to hit American military bases in the Central Pacific island of Guam.
China tends to keep a lot of military data secret, even after foreigners have discovered the new items via satellite photos or curious Chinese taking cell phone photos and posting them.
That was how the existence of the DF-41 missile became known in the last few years.
In 2012 China tested the DF-41 ICBM equipped with a final stage containing multiple warheads.The U.S. announced the test and had apparently monitored it with satellites and other air, land, and sea based sensors.
It was not revealed how many warheads were involved, although it was earlier mentioned that China could put 3-10 warheads in the DF-41 final stage.
The DF-41 has not been displayed publicly but thanks to cell phone there are photos of the DF-41 available.
The DF-41 appears to have had a lot of development problems because few have been built and fewer (less than a dozen) put into service.
The DF-41 is the only Chinese ICBM that can reach all of the United States.
2009年,中国曾宣布,其核弹道导弹不针对任何人。
China is believed to have over 400 nuclear warheads, most of them installed on ballistic missiles. Only a few dozen of these missiles can reach the United States.
These include the older (and about to be retired) DF-5, plus the newer DF-31A and DF-41.
Normally the nuclear warheads are stored separately and mated to the missiles only for actual use or the occasional training exercise. In 2009 China announced that its nuclear armed ballistic missiles were not aimed at anyone.
For the last two decades China has had about two dozen DF-5 ICBMs nominally in service because they can reach the United States.
