PLA confirmation: DF-41 is MIRVed (up to 10).

[帅的一匹]

Congratulations to our Chinese brothers for this Achievement , wish you all the best ..

Maybe Pakistan interested in the multi war-head tech?

Chinese should also share critical knowledge and technology with us, so we can have our own ICBM with MIRVs...

Offcourse, Chinese should not give us their top-most tech, but some help will do no harm to anybody.

Pakistan's and China's interests are aligned together in every single way.

That's under the table my brother .hush.....hush.....

Can any country in this planet intercept DF41`with existing technology?

Can any country in this planet intercept DF41`with existing technology?

No. As far as I know, as of now, you can't intercept MIRVed ICBMs...

@gambit might be able to explain it further...

Nope, to intercept one DF-41 is equivalent to intercept ten Topol-M.

we have our own missile program. we don't have ICBM yet but in future we will surely have it. in next year we are testing Agni-6. In current Geo-politics USA and India are allies. so we don't need to worry. even when we tested Agni-5 USA didn't complaint cause we are counter weight to China. Right now we have potential threat from China only. that's why we don't need ICBM in near future.
Agni-6 will be sufficient to deter China.

Many Indian media already label A5 as an ICBM. Are they all wrong?

Anything is intercepable according to Gambit.

@gambit, how you percieve this?

The other important question that this announcement resolves is the issue of China's nuclear arsenal size. Everyone has been throwing around the 250 warhead number but it's pretty unrealistic to assume that China has only stockpiled 250 warheads over the course of 5 decades. I wouldn't want to put forth an actual number on my own but Janes, in the late 80s/early 80s, quoted a Chinese general as saying China had over 1000 warheads. Who knows the real answer? It's definitely more than 250, however.

Sure, even the HGV is interceptable theoretically, but the chance to intercept one missile is like the chance to win a lottery ticket.

To assume that China only has 250 nukes is like to assume that China's current gold reserve remains at 1054 tons.

Yeah, we are the biggest gold importer and producer for many years, yet our gold reserve remains at barely 1000 tons.

Not many people are retarded to believe such propaganda.

The DF-41 is intended to replace China's old DF-5's and even if it's just a one to one replacement where China caps the production run to 25 (very unlikely), the new missiles would need 250 warheads alone just to fully arm them. IIRC, the 250 number was first thrown around by scientists in favor of global nuclear stockpile reductions. China, IMO, was content to stay quiet and let a third party help disguise China's arsenal size and intentions with false information as China quietly moved towards shedding its doctrine of minimal deterrence to something more robust - like what we're seeing now. Just my take on things.

There is a reason for China to remain silent at its nuclear stockpile.

Because there is currently an ongoing nuclear treaty between the US and Russia, and both party has the intention to drag China into this treaty.

The US and Russia intend to get rid of their aged Cold War nukes, but China has no benefit to get involved into the START, since our nukes are brand new and much more advanced compared to those Cold War relics.

Why we have to equally disarm our much more advanced DF-41 with those old liquid fueled ICBMs?

Just igonre Rusky and Yankee in the treaty stuff, they only serve their own purpose.

They can keep parroting that China only has 250 nukes or 24 ICBMs. We don't really care.

But with our newly deployed DF-41 and the coming JL-3, only a fool without brain would believe the statement above.

Agni -5 has 5000km range so I don't think it's ICBM.

They know sh$t about CHina's nuke arsenal, we won't tell them the real number we have.

China now even starts to build something even more expensive than the nuclear arsenal.

For example, China's GMD and HGV are something that cost much more to build.

We must build enough number of nuke warhead to keep uncle sam at bay.

The non first use of nuclear policy shall be rectified.
