Model: DF-61
The DF-61 is a newly revealed Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile, regarded as a successor to the DF-41 with similar or enhanced range and multiple warhead capability. Current stock: Unknown, early deployment phase. Production: Highly complex due to solid-fuel propulsion and MIRV design. Historical Usage: First public display in 2025 as part of China's nuclear triad. Countermeasures: Advanced missile defense systems like THAAD and GMD are required.
