China’s next-generation ballistic missile

China has revealed footage of its next-generation Dongfeng-26 ballistic missile. The mid-range ballistic missile is described as having improved stability and accuracy. It reportedly can fly 3,000km to 5,741km (1,864 to 3,567 miles), putting the US island territory in the western Pacific within striking distance. Analysts say the missile drill is an attempt to send a clear message to the United States about China’s increased military power, amid rising tensions between the two nations.
