WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – China has begun constructing over 100 new ballistic missile silos near the city of Yumen in the province of Gansu, US media reported.
A total of 119 almost identical construction sites in Gansu show elements featured by existing Chinese launch facilities, the Washington Post newspaper reported, citing commercial satellite images obtained by researchers at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California. According to experts, the number of new missiles for these silos could be much smaller.
Other than ICBMs, all ballistic missiles in China has mobile launcher and don't need silos.
These newly constructed silos could either host silo-based DF-41 or the upcoming new heavy ICBMs.
Like I have repeatedly called, China is now expanding our strategic nuclear arsenals very rapidly.
Given the location of these ICBM's, are they specifically for India ?
145 silos under construction
I think this is fake news. China like to build silos deep in Sichuan mountain, and stay undetectable.
Even if detected, they are hard to destroy.
Since when did nukes become clean?China has hydrogen bombs. Very clean. No worries.
