DF-31A and its younger stronger brother DF-31AG(model) on public display
With the HGV, the range of the DF-31AG can be increased up to 18000 km with a Mach 20 non-ballistic warhead.
Maybe it is time for China to showcase this type of weapon on our bad neighbour. Or at least it should be handed over to our PK brother for free.
" 这款发射车有4小8大共12个发射筒，在一旁则配合展出了2款口径不同的巡飞弹。在珠海航展上展出的体型相仿的CH901巡飞弹，长1.2米，重9千克，最高速度150公里/小时，飞行控制半径15千米，留空时间120分钟，具有很强的实用价值"

What makes the Chinese CH-901 drone so dangerous to the US?
https://www.quora.com/What-makes-the-Chinese-CH-901-drone-so-dangerous-to-the-US
The CH-901 is a real game-changer, not because it's the first lethal, portable drone — the AeroVironment Switchblade takes that credit — but because it's being produced by China for the export market.
This is a tactical weapon that can be carried by one soldier and launched from its tube from behind cover. The operator uses the video image beamed back by the drone to locate targets; it can cruise around for up to an hour at speeds of 40–80 mph at a few hundred feet. This long endurance, and the ability to find targets on its own, make it a loitering munition. Range is around nine miles.
Once a target is located, the CH-901 locks on and dives on it in a Kamikaze-style attack.
Two key things to note about the CH-901. Unlike the Switchblade, it carries a warhead powerful enough to destroy light armoured vehicles — anything short of an M1 Abrams in fact. At six pounds, it's a much bigger warhead than an RPG and will hit with much greater accuracy because it's a guided weapon. That means that Bradleys, Strykers, Hummers and everything else are vulnerable to a portable long-range anti-armor weapon which, unllike rockets and missiles, has no firing signature. You will not see this coming or know where it was fired from.
Of course, it can also target soldiers on foot. Lethal radius is several metres, and it has high precision. Every time one is used there are likely to be casualties.
Secondly, there are no existing countermeasures. It is hard to detect - no IR signature, minimal radar signature, and fly low and near-silently. It cannot be engaged by any existing anti-aircraft systems. Sure, you could try and shoot it down with a machine gun, but even if you know one is coming and where from, you have about three seconds to hit a tiny,fast-moving target.
Jamming is one possible solution, but only if you know exactly how it is controlled. And modern battlefield comms are extremely hard to jam, and getting harder. Optical comms or other counter-countermeasures would make it unjammable.
Being on the export market — and made by a company previously sanctioned for selling to enemies of the US — means that American troops are likely to run to the CH-901 sooner rather than later. And being made by the Chinese, it may be cheap enough to be sold in large numbers (unlike, say, guided missiles). Meeting a few of these would be bad news; a lot of them could be a disaster.

No demo video yet, just this one
The Chinese words call it cruise missile. It also mentioned it can be used as the other two.

Chinese People's Liberation Army Rocket Force Staged a Massive Missile Drill Against a THAAD Mockup Target
The exercise came one day before the People’s Liberation Army celebrated its 90th anniversary with a major parade.
By Ankit Panda
August 03, 2017
China’s People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) held a combined massive ballistic and cruise missile exercise over the weekend, one day before a major parade to celebrate the People’s Liberation Army’s 90th anniversary.
The drill, which took place in Inner Mongolia, near the PLA’s Zhurihe military base, involved at least three types of missile systems and the launch of at least 20 missiles.
According to U.S. government sources with knowledge of the exercise who spoke to The Diplomat, the PLARF employed four DF-26C intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM), ten DF-16A medium-range ballistic missiles, and six CJ-10 land attack cruise missiles in the live fire portion of the exercise.
At least three surface-to-air missile systems were involved in the exercise as well, including the HQ-6, HQ-16, and HQ-22. The HQ-22 was seen publicly for the first time at the PLA’s 90th anniversary parade.
The ballistic and cruise missiles simulated a long-range strike on a mock up of a U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) site and also struck ground-based models of U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighters, one source added.
The exercise is one of the largest recent PLARF exercises of its kind and one of the first publicly reported uses of the DF-26C IRBM in an exercise. Little public information exists on the DF-26C, which is a secretive PLARF IRBM capable of precision strikes with both conventional and nuclear payloads and is thought to have been first deployed in 2014 or earlier.
The DF-16 MRBM is also a secretive program, with the missiles having first been displayed publicly at China’s September 2015 parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Earlier this year, new images of the DF-16, including never-before-seen configurations, appeared on several Chinese websites. The MRBM serves a conventional payload precision-strike role with a range in excess of 1,000 kilometers and at least three known variants exist.
The CJ-10, meanwhile, is a standoff cruise missile, capable of striking targets at a range in excess of 1,500 kilometers, according to U.S. Department of Defense’s 2017 report on China’s military capabilities.
Combined, the exercise likely tested the PLARF’s ability to stage a coordinated precision-strike salvo attack against defensive installations like a THAAD battery across multiple missile crews.
A single THAAD battery, while effective against short-, medium-, and intermediate-range incoming targets, can be easily overwhelmed by a saturation strike.
The PLARF’s combined exercise came one day after North Korea’s second-ever test of an intercontinental-range ballistic missile, the Hwasong-14. The PLARF’s choice of a simulated THAAD installation for the exercise was likely intended to convey a message to the United States.
Beijing has long opposed the deployment of a THAAD system in South Korea, where it will be deployed in the southern part of the country, in Gyeongsanbuk-do.
China fears that the system’s associated AN/TPY-2 X-band radar will be able to diminish the effectiveness of its strategic nuclear deterrent by improving the United States’ ability to discriminate real intercontinental-range ballistic missile warheads from decoys and other penetration aids.

China opposed THAAD not becos, it diminished China nuclear capability but becos this THAAD are basically ballistic missile that can configure with nuke and strike China in very short response time as they are position very near Beijing.
They are wolf in sheep clothes.

Deploying Thaad in S Korea is for China only as it is not effective against North Korean missiles being so close.

New missile a more mobile deterrent
By Zhao Lei | China Daily | Updated: 2017-08-05 05:59
The People's Liberation Army Rocket Force has improved its strategic deterrence capability, thanks to the service of a new missile.
The DF-31AG, an enhanced version of the DF-31A intercontinental ballistic missile, is a new type of solid-fuel, road-mobile missile that can be launched from an eight-axle vehicle that also transports the missiles, according to an article published on Thursday by an online outlet run by PLA Daily, the military's flagship newspaper.
Compared with its predecessors, the DF-31 and DF-31A, the new missile features better mobility and survivability, the article said, without giving further details.
Before the arrival of the DF-31AG, the DF-31A was the PLA's newest intercontinental ballistic missile known to the public.
The DF-31AG was first viewed by the public at a field parade on Sunday morning at the PLA's Zhurihe Training Base in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
The parade was held to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, which was on Tuesday. The PLA used the occasion to display many new weapons, such as the J-20 stealth fighter jet and HQ-22 air defense missile.
The military said the new ballistic missile and the older DF-31A, which also appeared in Sunday's parade, represent China's status as a world power and the country's defense prowess. It called them "trump cards" in strategic deterrence.
Footage of the DF-31AG in the parade shows it is carried by an integrated missile vehicle known as a transporter-erector-launcher, and the bottom of the launch tube has been equipped with a buffer device. By comparison, the DF-31A is still mounted on an older, two-part vehicle and has no buffer attached to its launch tube.
The upgrades indicate that the DF-31AG is capable of making off-road launch in most kinds of terrain, with a very short preparation time, said Yang Chengjun, a military observer close to China's missile programs.
Du Wenlong, a senior researcher at the PLA Academy of Military Science, said that judging by the DF-31AG's extrinsic features and earlier information about it, the new model is likely to have a longer range, stronger penetration capability and larger destructive capacity than the DF-31A.
"It is possible that the missile has a global coverage and is able to deliver multiple maneuverable re-entry vehicles," he said. "Its service will extensively strengthen the Rocket Force's strategic strike capability."
According to Western weapons analysts, research and development for the DF-31, the first in the series, began in the mid-1980s. In August 1999, the first launch of the missile was conducted, and two months later, it was displayed to the public at the National Day parade.
The PLA Rocket Force now operates at least three types of intercontinental ballistic missiles for its nuclear deterrence system — the DF-31A, DF-31AG and DF-5B. The DF-5B, which made its debut at a parade in September 2015, is a liquid-propelled model capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads, according to information from the Chinese military.
In addition to the DF-31AG, another ground-to-ground missile that emerged for the first time was the DF-16G medium-range ballistic missile. Compared with the DF-16, the upgraded variant has higher accuracy and an improved maneuverable terminal stage that can better infiltrate missile defense systems, said the PLA Daily article.
