| The Dong Feng 31 DF-31 (NATO reporting name CSS-9) is a long-range, road-mobile, three stages, solid propellant intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the Dongfeng missile series developed by the People's Republic of China. The country started the development in in the mid-1980s as the successor to of the DF-4 Intercontinental ballistic missile. The DF-31 missile was displayed for the first time in 1999, at the National Day Parade. In October 2014, China’s military has conducted the first flight test of a new variant of one of its road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles, DF-31B. The new DF-31B is the latest addition to China’s rapidly growing nuclear missile arsenal that includes older silo-based missiles and five other road-mobile missiles. The 2010 version of the U.S. Department of Defense report suggests that, as of August 2010, around 30 DF-31 and DF-31A missiles were operational, representing an increase of 5-10 DF-31A missiles since the 2009 report. |
