Editor's note: The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force is equipped with different types of missiles including nuclear missiles, ordinary missiles, and even intercontinental missiles. Let's take a look at a series of intermediate and intercontinental ballistic missiles, code-named Dongfeng and typically shortened to "DF."

DF-26

The penetration capability of this missile has been greatly improved. It has good performance on precise strikes.

DF-26, a new-type long-range ballistic missile, made its first formal appearance in Beijing on Sept. 3, 2015 during the military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Besides conducting nuclear counterattack missions, the DF-26 can also attack medium-size ships at sea as part of a conventional long-range precision strike.
