China unveiled Dongfeng-41 intercontinental strategic nuclear missiles, the countrys most advanced and powerful deterrent, in a National Day military parade in central Beijing Tuesday. A formation consisting of 16 new-type strategic nuclear missile launchers carrying Dongfeng-41 passed through Tiananmen Square in the massive parade in celebration of the 70th founding anniversary of the Peoples Republic of China. Dongfeng-41 missiles, the mainstay of Chinas strategic nuclear strength, play a vital role in strategic counterbalance, deterrent control and in winning decisive victory. The formation is made up of two missile brigades from the rocket force.
