China's Dongfeng-17 Missile Was Designed To Attack US Military Bases In The Pacific
12 December 2022.
While China has showcased its DF-17 hypersonic missile with a mobile platform, the Pentagon has alleged that the missile already has the capability to carry a nuclear warhead.
The Dong Feng-17 (DF-17) using hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) technology powered by China's medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) has been designed to attack foreign military bases and fleets in the Western Pacific, according to a US Pentagon report.
In its 2022 China Military Strength Report (CMPR), the US Department of Defense (DoD) said that the DF-17 transforms the missile power of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). "The system, which was fielded in 2020, is likely intended to replace some older short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) units," DoD added, citing Chinese media.
“The DF-17 successfully passed several tests and was operationally deployed. While the DF-17 is primarily a conventional platform, it may be equipped with a nuclear warhead," the Pentagon said. Citing the claims of a Chinese military expert, the Pentagon added that the "main objective of the DF-17" is to attack bases and fleets in the Western Pacific. source: militermeter.com
