FAS's 2024 report comes out.

Spoiler alert: don't read it, complete waste of time.

No update compared to their 2023 report, they merely put extra 50 warheads on poor DF-26 and 60 warheads in storage to keep their record in line with DoD report.

Decided to read it anyways. I find it hilarious that they just added 62 warheads "produced" rather than claiming that the warheads are assigned to DF-26s or H-6 bombers.

Something really wild happened last night. Five NOTAMs and something launched from Taiyuan

At the first glance it looks like an ABM test but no news came out or they failed? Anyway it doesn't look like a typical Chinese ABM compared to the previous tests.

Or it could be an ICBM with a HGV warhead? But how it could come with two large NOTAMs after deviating from ballistic trajectory.

Could there be more than one HGVs mounted on the ICBM?

Seven days later, another ICBM test is coming up. A third stage ICBM launched from Taiyuan or Jilantai to middle of nowhere.

30 minutes' work based on the chart from "China’s Civil Nuclear Sector: Plowshares to Swords?"

China has approximately 10.85 Million SWU by now, will increase to 13.65M once current expansion complete in next few years.

Lanzhou CEP 6 has started Earthquake preparedness study, expected to enter production around 2026-2028 if everything is going on track, putting China's total SWU capability to 15 million per year.

I honestly cannot believe how much time and effort people here put into this water filled rocket nonsense.

This wild claim doesn’t pass the most basic of rudimentary smell test, and I honestly think whichever crackhead dreamt up that idea was just watching Breaking Bad reruns and saw the train heist and went, wait a minute! I can make some CIA anti-China propaganda money with this idea!

You mean "three staged ICBM" by "third stage ICBM"? Doesn't three stage missile need 4 zones, three for rocket stages and one for warhead? There are only three zones in this announcement.
