(Washington Comprehensive News) The US media quoted researchers that there are 119 almost the same construction sites near the desert areas near Yumen, Gansu, China, which are similar to that of China's existing nuclear warhead ballistic missile launch facilities, which may cause mainland the United States to be in the United States.Within the range.
According to the Washington Post, the satellite images obtained by the James Martin Research Center showed information about these construction sites.
Lewis, director of the East Asian Disposal Project of the Research Center, believes that these launch wells may be designed for Dongfeng-41 Intercontinental ballistic missiles. Dongfeng-41 can carry multiple warheads and can reach the target of 9,300 miles.
Lewis described that the scale of the project is "incredible", saying that this large -scale construction is a major effort to strengthen its credibility of its nuclear deterrence.
According to Voice of the United States, the Pentagon's assessment report on Chinese military power last September stated that the number of nuclear warheads in China is estimated to be slightly more than 200.In the next 10 years, its nuclear warhead inventory is expected to double.
