The DF-26 Ballistic Missile has been formally selected into the battle sequences of the Rocket Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), said Wu Qian, the spokesperson of the Ministry¹ of National Defense² at a press conference on Thursday.

 

国防部发言人吴谦周四在新闻发布会上表示，东风26弹道导弹已正式列装中国人民解放军火箭军部队。
 

 

Wu suggested that the DF-26 represents a new generation of intermediate-range ballistic missiles, which are completely independently-developed by China. It is capable of launching precise strikes towards significant targets on the ground and maritime³ targets, including large and medium-sized ships, said Wu.

 

"China will not change its nuclear strategy of self-defense and 'no-first-use' policy for nuclear weapons," stressed Wu.
