How China's Mobile Launchers Threaten Air Bases

A new U.S. defense assessment reveals that China's PLA Rocket Force now commands an arsenal of at least 3,100 ballistic missiles, reflecting a massive 147% expansion since 2015. Official parade footage showcases columns of road-mobile DF-17 hypersonic missiles, equipped with maneuverable glide vehicles designed to fly at Mach 5-plus.

Expert Insight
The strategic nightmare isn't just the speed of the DF-17's hypersonic glide vehicle; it's the sheer quantity. With over 3,100 ballistic platforms, the PLARF can launch massive, multi-axis salvos that simply bleed out a defender's limited stockpile of expensive interceptor missiles.
