1 China s Missile Buildup Rick Fisher, Senior Fellow International Assessment and Strategy Center Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance Forum, Capitol Hill, December 2, 2015 rdfisher@rcn.com
2 Debate Over China s Nuclear Forces China will not disclose its nuclear missile order of battle or modernization plans; consistently refuses simple discussions on nuclear issues with the United States. In 2015 DoD estimates the PLA has ICBMs and could build up to 60 SLBMs. DoD does not present many worst case estimates. Has not issued descriptive missile table since Most Western open sources put the total number of PLA nuclear warheads at 200 to 400. Int l Panel on Fissile Materials estimates Chinese HEU at 16 tons, and Plutonium at about 1.8 tons. In 2012 retired CoS of Russian Strategic Missile Force Colonel-General Victor Esin says: HEU: 40 tons; Plutonium: 10 tons; enough for over 3,600 warheads. China may have 1,600 to 1,800 warheads already, of which may be intended for deployment. 500 tactical warheads. China is developing strategic missile defenses. Some sources predict deployment by 2025, but it could be much sooner. China s proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies could become a force multiplier.
3 DF-5B MIRV Asian sources report MIRV DF-5B since DoD 2012 and 2013 says DF-5 is enhanced. In 2015 DoD report, first mention of multiple independently-targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV-equipped Mod 3 (DF-5). Usual reports of 20 DF-5s in silos. But what about possible reloads? 9/3 Parade revealed DF-5B for first time, clear relationship to Long March 2C SLV.
4 DF-31 and DF-31A: DF-31: 8,000km range estimated. DF-31A 11,200+ km range estimated. Both single warhead. One brigade of DF-31, service entry 1999? Possible two brigades of DF-31A.
5 New DF-31 Variants DF-31B tested on 25 September 2014 according to US sources as told to the Washington Free Beacon. Possible new TEL, possible MRV up to 3 warheads? Possible reload carrying vehicle?
6 DF-41(CSS-X-20): MIRV 6-10 warheads? IOC in 2014 or 2015?
7 More SSBNs Four Type 094 SSBNs now in service; deterrence patrols expected soon. Up to 5 or possibly 8 new Type 094 SSBNs expected? 60 to 96 JL-2 SLBMs? Future MRV equipped JL-2A or JL2B variant? 2020s: Type 096 SSBN and new JL-3 SLBM?

(1) High Missile Number Est. (2) Low MRV & Low Missile Est (3) High MRV & Low Missile (4) High MRV & High Missile Est.

High missile number estimate based on The United States Wants China To Stop Deployment of DF-31A: China s Military Rejects Categorically, WarSky web page, March 3, 2008, Assumes 2x brigades for road mobile ICBMs, or 24 missiles and 8x SSBNs. 3. Low MRV number based on author estimate. 4. High MRV estimate based on author interviews.
9 SRBM Trends Taiwan s MND says there are about 1,600 PLA missiles targeting Taiwan. The 2010 DoD China report, last to do so, describes SRBMs as follows: CASC DF-15 (CSS-6) is listed-- Launchers: ; Missiles: , or less than 4 missiles per launcher. CASIC DF-11A (CSS-7) is listed Launchers: ; Missiles: , or more than 5 missiles per launcher. At the 2015 IDEX show a Chinese official stated the PLA was going to purchase the CASC A km MLR/SRBM. 4x A-200s are marketed as paired with one 300+km range M-20 SRBM, per TEL, usually called the M-20 system. If the PLA buys CASC s new M-20, it will likely also by the CASIC s BP-12A, paired with the 4x SY-400 MLR/SRBM. If these are new gen SRBMs, taking the max 2010 number for launchers, 250 x 5 = 1,250 missiles + 3x reloads = 5,000 missiles. Cost grows to $2 million per TEL + missiles? Also possible that PLA Army artillery rocket units will start acquiring 280km range Norinco AR3 precision-guided artillery rocket.
10 MRBM and IRBM Trends 800km to 1,000km range DF-16 MRBM entering service. Longer range, higher speed to counter Taiwan BMD systems. We know that DF-21 units employ reloads. In 2015 we see a new CASC TEL that may carry two MRBMs. If this is a CASC system, then we can expect a new CASIC system to succeed the DF-21. Will this too carry 2x MRBMs? 9/3 parade reveals 3,000km to 4,000km range DF-26, which can carry nuclear, non-nuclear and ASBM warheads.
11 New CASIC Mobile SLVs ICBMs and PGS? Kuaizhou-1 mobile SLV, w/ 1.4meter diameter three-stage motor derived from DF-21 can loft 250kg to 500km orbit. Kuaizhou-2 SLV, w/ 2.2 meter diameter three-stage motor due to be tested in 2016; 1,000kg to 700km orbit. Both could become ASAT or new ICBM. As CASC KT-1 = SC-19/DN-1 ASAT, could KZ-1 = DN-2 ASAT? Both could become basis for new non-nuclear Prompt Global Strike system with version of DF-ZF hypersonic maneuvering warhead. By 2030, 138 Jilin surveillance sats provide 10 minute target revisit rate.
12 ASAT and Future ABM Capabilities
13 Potential New Bomber Cooperation: Parallel Programs China has long had a new strategic bomber program, thought to be a Xian Aircraft Co. low-observable flying wing aircraft. Asian government sources indicate this program could result in a new bomber entering service by Open Chinese sources indicate it will be intended to strike targets out into the Second Island Chain. It is interesting that Russia PAK-DA next generation bomber program is also a low-observable flying wing design also intended to enter service in about Designed by the Tupolev bureau, PAK-DA will carry a larger weapons load than the Tu-160 supersonic swing-wing intercontinental bomber. It will eventually replace Tu-160, Tu-22M3 and Tu-95. (Images on left from TsAGI cira 2007) One possibility is that Tupolev has already conducted some consulting toward the Xian design, or that in the future it could offer China design consulting.
