76. DONGFENG MISSILE

Dongfeng – literally means ‘East Wind’ in Chinese.

It is a series of intermediate and intercontinental ballistic missiles operated by China.

The DF-31 system has an estimated range of nearly 10,000 km, enough to deliver a nuclear warhead to the capitals of Europe or the west coast of the US.

China recently flight-tested it.
