China s Ballistic Missiles Are Meant to Make the Pacific an Impregnable Fortress
Although China’s intercontinental strike ability is somewhat limited when compared to heavyweights like the United States or Russia, Beijing’s capabilities are growing. What China lacks in international reach is made up for big-time in regional capabilities.
Here s What You Need To Remember: One variant, the DF-21D has been called the carrier-killer because of its relatively high accuracy of 20 CEP, maneuverability, and range of about 930 miles.

SINGAPORE, Feb 8 2021 - President Joseph Biden of the United states and President Vladimir Putin of Russia vide a telephone talk have agreed to extend the New Start treaty beyond the expiry date of 5th February of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty or New-START by another five years. By ageing to do so, President Biden was reversing the decision of his predecessor, President Donald Trump. It is actually the only remaining agreement that curtails US and Russian nuclear forces.
Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed ChowdhuryThe New Start limits both sides to no more than 700 ICBMs, SLBMs and nuclear-capable bombers, and 1500 deployed strategic warheads. The numbers are the lowest since 1960s. Sheer numbers, more often than not, do not tell the whole story. Within the treaty framework one could introduce qualitative improvements, or new weaponry that could add capabilities and upset the equilibrium. This has always been an apple of discord between the parties.
