I want to know that too.
10000 please... dont be shy China... build them nukes like you build highways and high speed rail


Relaks!

Please not again the hoary 200 to 300 nukes that China supposed to be having , as if that is gospel truth enshrined in stone and whispered or shouted by some kind of burning bush.

In some areas, at the worse, China on par with Murica. In many other key areas, China way ahead of Murica. But again, China not going to rest on laurels. China will forge on ahead to be even betterer to make sure Murica remain a distant 2nd to China. Let us look at artillery Chinese tube...

Let us look at stuff when things get really serious.

As I said, even now, China is far ahead of United States of Murica even in this business
Look at not just the number of Chinese missiles as that is only one facet.
Look at the throw weights of Chinese missiles as well.


Sailing their carriers up and down in phony FONOPs.

And a great game to bully China for the fun of it.

And screaming if their carriers are touched, China will be in a big world of hurting.

As if Murica the only one with nukes and happy to toss them about like confetti.


And please do not talk of nukes. China might well be the only country
with fully functional H Bombs



Chinese H Bombs are done to the YuMing configuration requiring very little maintenance.
Muricans do their H bombs to the Ulam Teller configuration needing lots of maintenances.

Each warhead needs to have about 200 milligrams of fresh tritium added every year. Here’s a pic showing W80s having their gas changed.

Karber’s report mentioned that “PRC data in 1995 gave the figure at 2,350.”

And remember the DF5s and DF31AG as well. About 100 or more of them, mirving 10 nukes or more.
China has at least three brigades of DF-5 missiles. Assuming all three brigades have been modernized, that's 360 thermonuclear warheads with a half-megaton on each warhead.
3 brigades DF-5B ICBM x 12 missiles per brigade x 10 MIRVs per missile = 360 thermonuclear warheads carried on DF-5B ICBMs




main-qimg-67afab3147175cead69648b3fecd4dc9






DF-5B got throw weight of 5,000 kgs
In 2017, China successfully completed tests of DF-5C. Presumably with greater throw weight and greater accuracy in targetting.

7 brigades DF-31A ICBM (since 2007 introduction and adding one brigade per year) x 12 missiles per brigade x 3 MIRVs = 252 thermonuclear warheads carried on DF-31A ICBMs (assuming NO RELOAD missile per TEL; if you assume ONE reload missile per TEL then you double the number of warheads to 504 thermonuclear warheads).

Since then, China tested and got operational DF31AG and DF31B. Obviously able to throw more warheads than the DF31A. The DF31s are solid fuel and can fire within 3 to 5 minutes.

And the H-6K bombers. H-6K can carry up to six YJ-12 and 6-7 ALCMs; and air launched missiles (

)
As at 2015, there are 15 numbers of H-6Ks, and 150 numbers of assorted H-6s.
Using just H-6Ks, there will be need for 15X10 , or 150 thermonuclear bombs.
2015 is 5 years ago. You can be sure there will be even more numbers of H-6K, and even more advanced bombers being build by China.

The Dong Feng 41 (CSS-X-10) is a road- and rail-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The DF-41 completed all testing stages and deployed in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) since 2017. It is estimated to have an operational range of 12,000 to 15,000 km, which would make it the longest range missile in operation. It will likely have a top speed of Mach 25 and will be capable of delivering up to 10 MIRVed warheads. Throw weight of DF-41 is 2,500 kg.

The DF-41 is a three-stage solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile reported to have a maximum range of up to 15,000 kilometers (more than 9320 miles) and a top speed of Mach 25 (19,030 mph). It is said to be capable of carrying up to 10 multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRVs). Its launch preparation time is estimated to be between 3 to 5 minutes.

This would make the DF-41 the world's longest range missile, surpassing the range of the US

which has a reported range of 13,000 km. Throw weight of LGM-30 is only 1000kg or just 3 numbers of 170kton nukes. USA UGM-133 Trident II throw weight is only 2,800 kg.



Four brigades of DF-41 ICBMs (Heilongjiang, Henan, Xinjiang, and Tibet Provinces) with one re-load per DF-41 TEL yields 96 total DF-41 ICBMs.
How many brigades of DF-41 since 2017 number of 4 brigades?
6 Brigades or 8 Brigades?

If China got only 260 thermonukes like what everyone is saying and hoping, the surplus warheads will be delivering dim sum and tea bags and cleaned pressed laundry from Chinese laundrymen.

Please remember DF-41 got a very big brother coming up as well in case you think DF-41 not worthy enough to deliver dim sum and tea bags and cleaned laundry.
Russia’s RS-28 “Sarmat” ten-ton payload, rated as the most dangerous ICBM . Reportedly it may carry up to fifteen 350 kiloton warheads, or up to twenty-four of the new “Avangard” nuclear-armed Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) warheads. Sarmat will be dwarfed by Chinese new missile with even larger twenty-ton payload. That will be solid-fuel space-launch vehicle (SLV), and could form the basis for what might become the world’s largest “mobile” ICBM.

SSBNs
Type 094 Jin Class SSBN


Currently 6 of type 094 but projected to be 8 in years to come.
Carrying 12 numbers of JL-2, mirving 3–4 thermonuclear warheads.
Or 288 nuclear warheads

Type 096 Tang Class SSBN
This is similar to Ohio Class

Carrying 24 JL-3 missiles , each mirving 5–7 warheads.
Currently, 6 numbers of 096 SSBNs are being build simultaneously.
Using 6x24x5, we have 720 thermonuclear warheads.

Or at least 1000 nukes can be delivered by China.
Or the warheads delivered are empty. Or used to deliver dim sums, General Tso chicken, wulung tea bags and cleaned laundry by Chink laundrymen, express delivery.

If China is ever turned into a nuclear wasteland, those that send nukes into China will be nuked into glowing and molten multicolored wasteland.

China promised never to use the first nuke. But if just one nuke land on China or her forces, ALL THE USA BASES FROM EUROPE, DIEGO GARCIA , SINGAPORE . JAPAN AND USA HERSELF WILL BE SEAS AND LAKES OF MOLTEN MULTI COLOR GLASS.
None of the USA carriers will be spared. The carriers will be taken out with nukes even if the carriers hide in Frisco Bay or in the Atlantic Ocean or any other ocean.


And as demonstrated so clearly in KSA a few days ago, the Aegis and Patriot systems defending Saudi a joke as the Aegis and Patriot cannot even detect a few sub Mach cruise missiles not to talk of taking them down. Even to now, no one sure where those came from and who flown them. Despite overlapping coverage of those Patriot and Aegis systems.



main-qimg-4288f77121353a50c0eca1fb240e5d3d


A nuked China will be very very weak. And China recalled the days where the British and French and Japan and USA came to carve her up when China was weak.
China will not allow that to happen again. China will ensure those countries will be weaker than a nuked China, or exist only in name (Japan) after a nuked China

So please let peace prevail and it is irrelevant whether you think China only got 260 nukes
The lucky ones will be those that die in the first micro second.
Those still alive a year later will wish they gone at the very beginning.

And why the war fought or even started, no one will give a flying **** as to the reasons.



main-qimg-cd4d1f006f63683f9d078132819ae8fe







Even so, China never ever threatened to use nukes. Other than if nuke used on China, China will retaliate and use nukes as well.

So please be peaceful and respectful and more courtesy, and no more phony FONOPs and playing games of who will blink with China with phony FONOPs. Do not play with fire regarding Taiwan. AND DO NOT THREATEN TO NUKE CHINA.

In case of a decapitation strike on Washington DC from a submarine, I read a SLBM could strike in as little as 30 minutes, how would the US intelligence know whether it was launched by China or Russia or maybe North Korea ?

All major nuclear powers (Russia, China, USA) have their nukes pointed everywhere. If they receive a hit on even a major city, let alone the capital, they are launching everywhere. They die, everyone on earth is to die with them. If Russia launches on Washington DC, US is launching at China too and everywhere else. It is a matter of principle.

The idea is that no nation can come out of any major nuclear exchange better than any other. Otherwise there is incentive (albeit small) to work towards limited exchanges. Major nuke powers deter this by extending MAD to rest of world. Contrary to popular belief, China has plenty of warheads and missiles of all kinds to perform this on at least the US and Europe if it is struck down. It just needs more to ensure total coverage even on its own and to calculate for missiles intercepted, faults, and decapitating first strike that could destroy many of its missiles. Six 094 boats are just not enough for this. Lucky China is huge and has very decent OTH and early warning radars which apparently they are going to modernise and upgrade with Russia. These may even share information with Russia so they only need to keep upgrading their China facing early warning for the very remote chance China does nuclear strike on Russia. New early warning units can even warn Russia of American strike on Russia coming from SSBNs in the lower latitude Pacific.

Again, it doesn't matter who launched on you. If you do get hit, you launch everywhere. That's the unspoken rule with at least Russia and USA. If they intercept it then who knows how that situation develops but if US gets hit, the attacker won't be launching one missile, it'll be aiming to cover the US and if that is carried out, why wouldn't the US fire at both Russia and China?

How many working USA thermonukes there are at any time will be a very very good question to ask.

Not likely you be getting any answer though!

How many Murican H Bombs can go kaboom immediately? Not many.

Six 094 boats are just not enough for this. Lucky China is huge and has very decent OTH and early warning radars which apparently they are going to modernise and upgrade with Russia. These may even share information with Russia so they only need to keep upgrading their China facing early warning for the very remote chance China does nuclear strike on Russia. New early warning units can even warn Russia of American strike on Russia coming from SSBNs in the lower latitude Pacific.

Again, it doesn't matter who launched on you. If you do get hit, you launch everywhere. That's the unspoken rule with at least Russia and USA. If they intercept it then who knows how that situation develops but if US gets hit, the attacker won't be launching one missile, it'll be aiming to cover the US and if that is carried out, why wouldn't the US fire at both Russia and China?

Repeated again for emphasis

A nuked China will be very very weak. And China recalled the days where the British and French and Japan and USA came to carve her up when China was weak.
China will not allow that to happen again. China will ensure those countries will be weaker than a nuked China, or exist only in name (Japan) after a nuked China

So please let peace prevail and it is irrelevant whether you think China only got 260 nukes
The lucky ones will be those that die in the first micro second.
Those still alive a year later will wish they gone at the very beginning.

I have never read this and cannot believe it, it would be contrary to US constitutional principles to wipe out 2 billion innocent people if the launch was done say by a North Korean submarine, but please post some link. In the case of decapitation, strike time is crucial, in as little as 30 minutes a SLBM (MIRV) could strike the Pentagon and Washington DC simultaneously. I know US has a protocol to activate the Minuteman in this very case when the President and the Secretary of defence are dead but I cannot believe they would launch everywhere, it is no more a cowboy nation and especially when it comes to nuking everything is programmed in the smallest details otherwise we would have had some accident already. Part of the decision-making process will be managed by AI in the very next years but US will remain
a country ruled by law, everything in US including nuclear war must be under the umbrella of the constitution, the pentagon chief reminded (recently in the election aftermath ) the US population to upheld constitutional values.

All major nuclear powers (Russia, China, USA) have their nukes pointed everywhere. If they receive a hit on even a major city, let alone the capital, they are launching everywhere. They die, everyone on earth is to die with them. If Russia launches on Washington DC, US is launching at China too and everywhere else. It is a matter of principle.

The idea is that no nation can come out of any major nuclear exchange better than any other. Otherwise there is incentive (albeit small) to work towards limited exchanges. Major nuke powers deter this by extending MAD to rest of world.

@ougoah yeah bro, the MAD principle, some members had been annoyed by what I posted about China needs for Russian Nuclear Umbrella, yes China need to increase her nuclear weapons but it takes a lot of time and resources, resources that should be used on filling the strategic gap especially on semiconductor and aircraft engine. The understanding between Russia and China is to work together to survive this western onslaught, if one of them falls the other will be an easy target. And Russia will also be uneasy if there is a sudden increase in Chinese nuclear inventory.
