"Yumen Gansu Wind Farm"
is not the "real silos"

"China certainly has reasons to build them" ... "They can store high-thrust liquid-fuel intercontinental missiles"

"let the Western media imagine it"

Very interesting

The Russians use Topol and Yars solid missiles on silos though. The US Minuteman solid missile is also silo based.
I agree that it makes more sense if these are windmills than silos though.

What do you think?

Considering this is from The Sun.
Considering that they're just citing an article from Naval and Merchant ships magazine as if it is a depiction of official PLA strategy (rofl).


The answer to your query is hardly difficult to reach.

Remember the Kosovo War. Even though the US suspected armor on the ground were decoys, that had to hit them anyway just in case. How many decoy silos can China make all over inner Mongolia?
The US does not have tens of thousands of nuclear missiles though.

The US stated in its March 2019 New START declaration that 1,365 warheads are deployed on 656 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers. The total stockpile is about 3800 warheads.

It takes 2-3 warheads to guarantee a kill on a silo so by building 500 silos, you'd be wasting a large portion of the current US nuclear stockpile.
