Artistic rendering. Likely not accurate.

Patch for the DF-17 parade formation. It reads "DongFeng-17 conventional missile formation". I think "方队" should translate into "marching formation" or simply "formation", but correct me if I'm wrong.

Interesting depiction of the 5x5 launch vehicle.

That artist missed something on the DF-17/DZ-ZF. If you look carefully at the photos, that white piece on the nose is a slip-on covering. It's hiding the actual shape and trying to make it look good for the parade.

Did anyone notice the difference between the tires of the DF-31AG and DF-41? Off-road capable TEL vs. underground tunnel TEL? o_Oo_Oo_O

The DF-17s in parade are likely mock-ups, as real missiles are all sealed in that well maintained can environment to extend their life span(if you watch that DF-26 launching video you'll notice that its very different from the ones on parade. ), so all we get from these pictures is its shape, likely nothing else.

Not mock ups. The real thing. But these ones are not officially deployed yet, but will be after the review. There is a video that accompanies the tweet.

Rocket Army's first ballistic missile DF-17: fast flight speed, agile ballistics, greatly improved defensive ability, and a short reaction time. This will be officially deployed after the reviewing ceremony is over.
