China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

Looks too small to be the DF-41.

Perhaps China had successfully miniaturize it.

You need a certain amount of solid fuel especially if it's supposed to cover whole US while being armed with MIRVs. We are talking about missile heavy and large as the LGM-118 Peacekeeper or very close to it.

US was planning to move LGM-118s with trucks similar to this.

DF-41 is surely in service now.
In a conclusion about the military reform achievement in 2016, People's Daily said "a new type of strategic missile get into service".
Could someone help attach a picture of the newspaper?

What is the basis of your claim that this is too small to be the DF-41?

 

[Hyperwarp]

Don't think it is smaller. Even if we reduce the wheel size the of the new TEL some more, it'll still be longer than the DF-31/31A canister.

Better fuel mix?

I like the more offroad capable TEL that the DF-41 is using compared to the DF-31/A TEL.

 

[Hyperwarp]

Made some more PS adjustments: Adjusted the overall size so the wheel-size are pretty much the same. At this size the overall canister length is about the same in the new TEL (excluding the front dome/cap). If this is accurate, then this may not be the DF-41 but the DF-31B.

Caution: This is purely my speculation

BTW: Does someone know in which unit / BGD the DF-26 are deployed? Thanks

I can think of only 2 clear ICBM TEL. But they are slightly different from each other. The TEL posted by SinoSoldier is simliar to the 1st image below. The 2nd one is still a mystery.

Oh no no you are wrong. Those are not ICBM in any way shape or form.
They are common trucks for transporting water pipes.

I have very credible source from our forum experts Bltizo and PLAwolf here to back me up on this!
