DF-5A/B/C

The DF-5A/B/C is a series of Chinese silo-based, liquid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). These missiles are a cornerstone of China's strategic nuclear deterrent, capable of delivering multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs) over long distances.

Developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), the DF-5 series entered service in 1983 and has undergone several upgrades to enhance its range and payload capacity.
