yesterday morning, as soon as big ivan got up, he was startled by the photos from the chinese military trumpet. no one expected that on september 25, the rocket force would launch a full-range intercontinental ballistic missile test into the south pacific ocean. it's a large high-definition picture, so gorgeously exposed.

judging from the published photos and some other evidence, we can confirm that it was the dongfeng-31ag intercontinental strategic missile that carried out the full-range test launch this time. in this way, the launch model that everyone has been debating for a long time has been determined!

why did the rocket force choose to test-fire dongfeng-31ag instead of dongfeng-41 this time? why do we still maintain the dongfeng-31 series of equipment when we already have the powerful dongfeng-41?

let’s talk about the first question first. judging from the performance of dongfeng-31ag and dongfeng-41, the performance of the former is relatively mature. after all, it has been equipped for many years and has experienced many test launches. as the rocket force's first full-range intercontinental ballistic missile test in 44 years, ivan dae believes that ensuring stability and reliability is the primary purpose. for this reason, he chose dongfeng-31ag instead of dongfeng-41 to fire the first shot. for the rocket it is the most reliable choice for the military.

as for factors such as confidentiality, big ivan feels that they are not the primary factor. over the years, countries have notified each other of intercontinental ballistic missile launches, and then they must have conducted mutual reconnaissance. other countries have more or less mastery of the ballistic characteristics of dongfeng-31 and dongfeng-41. therefore, big ivan believes that the most critical thing is to ensure that the launch is foolproof.

so, since we already have dongfeng-41, why do we still need to maintain the establishment and equipment of dongfeng-31? on the one hand, equipment is obviously inheritable. when new equipment is put into service, old equipment cannot be withdrawn from active service immediately. there will inevitably be a process of continuous technological improvement, mid-term improvement, and full use of its full-life performance before being withdrawn from active service. in fact, dongfeng-31ag is completely new equipment in terms of equipment age. it only officially appeared in 2015. how is it different from wasting national property to retire in such a short period of time?

on the other hand, looking at the equipment system of intercontinental ballistic missiles, land-based, sea-based intercontinental missiles, land-based silo launchers, land-based mobile, land-based light, and land-based heavy each have their own performance characteristics, and each has its own responsibilities. mission. for example, land-based silo-launched heavy weapons are often used as primary strike weapons due to their high strike accuracy and powerful warheads; land-based mobile weapons are often used as secondary strike weapons due to their strong survivability. compared with dongfeng-41, dongfeng-31ag is relatively maneuverable and flexible, and its response speed is fast, which is also its objective advantage.

in general, the performance and nuclear strategic connotations of strategic nuclear missiles are extremely rich. we can wait for a weekend to give you a detailed science introduction to the relevant content, so stay tuned.
