the two new reported ICBM fields, and a possible third, suggest a fundamental overhaul of Beijing’s ICBM deterrent, apparently based around presenting enemies with a much more challenging target, should they wish to destroy it in a first strike. These new missile fields could also provide China with an expansive quick-launch ICBM capability the likes of which they didn't have before. In the past, the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force has relied upon a small force of around 20 silos for its liquid-fueled DF-5 missiles, the only operational silo-based ICBMs in its inventory. A handful of other silos are used for training and test purposes.
