China deploys new ICBMs

The Chinese now have more than 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles operational across three new silo fields, according to a new Pentagon draft report seen by Reuters. The DF-31 missiles are designed to deliver nuclear warheads to targets up to 7,500 miles away. They are solid-fueled, enabling quicker launches and improved survivability over older, liquid-fueled missiles. Altogether, China now has 600 nuclear warheads, according to the report, and is expected to have more than 1,000 by 2030. Last month, U.S. President Trump announced plans for America, Russia and China to denuclearize. But the new report says China has “no appetite” for arms control discussions.
