- The new modular structure-DF-5C is divided into three sections and transported in different vehicles, and the preparation and response time is shorter than the previous generation.
- More than 20,000 km of range – can hit all military targets around the world, which is a nuclear threat to China.
- Various launch methods – Inherited the traditions of the DF series, expanding the flexibility of management.
- Ultra -fast flight – flies at the speed of dozens of Maches to dramatically reduce the interceptor of the missile defense system.
- MIRV ability – Dazzling individual targets can be mounted, and it can be equipped with nuclear warheads, conventional warheads and deceptions to make enemy defense difficult.
- Advanced Precision – Use the inertial guidance, altitude navigation, and China’s Beidou system to ensure high accuracy for long -distance goals.
Strategic context
The Chinese government has maintained its defensive nuclear strategy and reaffirmed its policy that it does not threaten its nuclear weapons for the ‘preemptive use of nuclear weapons’ policies and non -nuclear weapons and non -nuclear weapons.
Professor Yang says that disclosing the DF-5C and other strategic weapons in a military parade has a symbolic and political meaning.
“These weapons remind the Chinese people that they should not forget history, and they are ready to respond to external threats even in a complex and challenging security environment.”
The DF-5C nuclear missiles are expected to be incorporated into China’s strategic arsenal in the next few years, strengthening deterrence and solidifying the position as a major military powerhouse in the world.
