Chinese nuclear threat: In the race to become number one in the world, the arms race has also intensified. China and America are at the forefront in this race. America is also counting the increasing stock of sugar very closely. This has been revealed in the Pentagon’s recent report on China. The disclosure is also a cause of concern for the world. China is rapidly increasing its number of nuclear weapons. According to the Pentagon report, by the year 2030, China will have 1000 operational nuclear weapons. At present, China has 600 operational nuclear warheads. That means it will make 400 new nuclear warheads in the next 6 years. China is trying to become a world class military by 2049. According to the report, America has more than 1700 nuclear warheads deployed. About 2000 are in reserve. But America is starting to face problems due to the speed of China.
Increase in Chinese rocket force
In the last 5 years, China has increased the pace of its nuclear modernization program. If China continues to increase its pace like this, then by the year 2035 its number will cross 1500. The number of China’s medium/intermediate land-based ballistic missiles included in this nuclear weapons arsenal is approximately 600. It has DF-21A/E with 2000 km range, DF-26 missile with 4000 km range, DF-5A with 12000 km range ICBM, DF-5B with 13000 km range, DF-5C missile. Apart from this, DF-27 range is 5000 to 8000 km, DF-31 range is 7200 km, DF-31A range is 11200 km, DF-31AG range is 11200 km, DF-41 range is 12000 km. More than 72 submarine-launched ballistic missiles, including JL-2 with a range of more than 7,000 kilometers and JL-3 with a range of more than 9,000 kilometers. Aircraft-fired nuclear weapons H-6K and H-6N. It can hit more than 3100 kilometers.
abundance of missile bases
PLA Rocket Force 9 controls the base. Of these, 6 bases are for missile operations (Base 61 to Base 66), one base is for central nuclear warhead stockpile (Base 67), one base (68 base) is for maintaining infrastructure and one base (69 base) is for training and missile test. Is. There are 6-8 missile brigades in each operating base. Due to the continuously increasing stockpile of nuclear weapons, the number of brigades has also increased. According to a study, at present the Chinese PLA Rocket Force has 45 missile brigades. It is equipped with ballistic and cruise launcher.
China is increasing missile silos
Missile silo means an underground facility for launching missiles. There are cylinder tube structures inside the ground. It consists of launching and storing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM), Medium Range Ballistic Missiles (MRBM) and Anti Ballistic Missiles (ABM). A total of 350 new missile silos are being constructed. In which about 320 new missile silos are being prepared in Yumen, Hami and Yulin silo fields in 3 desert areas of North China. Central Industrial is building 30 new silos in the mountainous areas of China. Three missile complexes being built in North China have been hidden from the airdome to protect them from the sight of satellites. Yumen Silo Field is spread over 1110 square kilometers in Gansu province of Western Military District. There are 120 silos present in this silo field. Hami silo field is also present in East Xingjian of Western Military District of China. The construction of 110 missile silos in this complex spread over 1028 square kilometers is in the advanced phase. The third Yulin Silo Field complex is spread over an area of 832 square kilometers. 90 missile silos are being built here. However, the threat of China is looming over all the countries of the world. America is in the most trouble due to this threat.
