China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

[antiterror13]

China has 2 tons of weapon grade plutonium, which is enough for over 600 warheads.

Also, China has 18 tons of HEU which is more than enough for 1000 warheads.

Addition .... thats minimum 2 tons plutonium and 18 tons HEU .. the reality is I believe much higher

There is no limiting technology or resources for China to expand it

One LCC for 10 silos like in US. Centralized C&C drastically reduces personnel and maintenance costs.

Hope they are planning for more than 145 and all of them will have missile, not just try to hide a relatively small number of warheads across a network of silos

Tent in the second picture is not in a desert. Shape of curvature also different.

Are we sure this isn't this?

Tbh, I've never seen a missile silo with such a shape as the cover - a rectangular bubble

I think they meant it was a shelter for the construction of the silos.

I'm hearing from a very reliable source that the DF-45 has flown. Anybody know anything about that?

Based on the WP article image, I am getting some 12 silos per 30 km stretch, for a roughly 2.5 km distance between silos. Perhaps a bit more.
That roughly corresponds to the distance on US silo fields, where I found a few distances to be around 2.7 km.

Surely you can't hide something like this and we would see it in the news very quickly after a launch?

If ballistic missile launches can be hidden we might as well go home. First strike for everyone.
