Air launched DF-21D ? Hard to believe. If true Surely not launched from our H-6 bomber...it is too small to handle such big missile.
However some sites claim that the paraded DF-26 were actually the D variant.
You are right. In this parade they didn't specify what kind of DF-26x were in show..but it is sure there are other DF-26 variants (26A, 26B, 26C...) and some internet leaked pics confirm.
In this parade the Second Artillery Corps will show seven types of missiles. These should be:
1. New cruise missile or improved CJ-10 (now renamed DF-10)
2. DF-15x (maybe 15B again)
3. DF-16 MRBM
4. DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile
5. DF-26x IRBM
6. DF-31A ICBM
7. Old DF-5? But the size...
On September 3rd parade China will unveil, among others, the new IRBM DF-26x with range about 3,500 km. Dubbed the "Guam-killer" it may possess anti-satellite capability too. Great weapon!
This is probabily another (again!!) member of the DF-26 family. Since they all use the 12x12 chassis HTF5680. They are too many....but the more we have the better!
Not that smaller, since the diameter is very close to DF-41 and only 3 or 4m shorter. DF-31B truck design is more elegant and doesnt look "russian style mobile ICBMs" like DF-41 do instead.
As usual us intels are retarded, they figured out 31B existence almost two years later the first pics...
This should be China latest mobile ICBM, the DF-31B, tested for the first time in september 2014. From the name we learn thatt it's the improved variant of the DF-31A. As you can see the most obvious improvement is the TEL , which is the same used by the DF-41. DF-31A weakness was the limited...
Wow..are they made by yourself?
I think some canisters are just guessing drawn, since the real ones are yet to be shown. For example df-31b canister does not protrude beyond the cabin..However these drawing are interesting, it's a pity the respective names are not present too.
One question is: how do US intelligencies/Pentagon know that a certain missile test is, for example, a DF-31A instead of DF-31B or a DF-41?
Is it confirmed by space based sensors/satellites or by eyewitness?
In the first case those space sensors have amazing resolution to differentiate a DF-31...
No, the ICBM in the picture is absolutely not a DF-41. The rear end of the truck, under the canister, is identical to this one:
Now look at this comparison:
They're are totally different! how can you say they're both DF-41?!
Also take a look at this pic:
as you can see, this new ICBM has...

Its successor should be probably one these two, or both:
Both are six axles chassis meaning the missile is surely longer and heavier than DF-21D. So certainly the range has greatly improved.
It's just unbelievable the speed these new missile systems are being developed...After all we have...
Few days ago chinese television showed the famous "carrier-killer" DF-21D for thé first time. As usual none paid enough attention, believed it's the DF-21C instead. But my expert eyes saw the truth:
Now Confront it below with the only two pics on Internet so far:
We learnt that the TEL is...
Your huge and primitive Agni V will be shot down even in its boost phase by our interceptors in Tibet, and the debris will fall on your own heads.
Boost phase is the weakest phase of a missile and its interception the easiest. China can do that with Indian missiles but not the contrary.
The...
I think this new toy has been leaked on purpose. today is PLA anniversary and China shows the muscles to the world.
I didn't come to a true conclusion, what do you mean exactly? The fact this is a new system is obvious if you compare this pic with DF-41 pics. Apart the canister, the rest is...
Today, August first PLA's day, a new mobile ICBM goes public.
Most people thought it's DF-41 but only an expert like me recognised it's another new one!
When the first original pics appeared online, they received little if zero attention. But I was the first one here to report that new TEL...
Yes, this truck design is unusual and very original, looks like inspired by Dart Vader's helmet
:azn:
Chinese missile TELs are definitely more beautiful than russian's...and many more are coming!!
This new cruise missile launcher could be carrying the YJ-18 supersonic (final speed: Mach 3), anti-ship sea-skimming missile designed to kill Aegis destroyers of US, Japan or South Korea. With a 300 kg HE warhead and a final 10G "S" shape movement (to avoid enemy interception) the YJ-18 is...
