The US-based website Washington Free Beacon, quoting unnamed Pentagon officials, reported that a DF-41 – which has a range of at least 12,000km – was launched on April 12, 2016. The launch was conducted to coincide with the visit to disputed islands in the South China Sea by General Fan Changlong, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission. The missile had two mul­tiple independently targetable ­re-entry vehicles, each capable of carrying several warheads. Its range allows the PLA to strike anywhere inside the United States. The missile was monitored in flight by US military satellites and other regional sensors. Ni Lexiong, a Shanghai-based military analyst, said observers would “naturally” link the test to the situation in the South China Sea and “Whether this was intended to work with China’s diplomatic efforts is open to interpretation.” Don't stop shopping and go on with saving at Target Catalogue.
