China's heavy investments in missile stockpiles, especially the DF-26, signify its strategic intent to enhance military capabilities and project power throughout the Western Pacific.
The DF-26, described as a 'carrier killer,' underscores China's commitment to expanding its missile technology, increasing from 300 to 500 IRBMs in one year.
The Pentagon warns that the multi-role DF-26, capable of rapid warhead swaps, poses a significant threat, enabling precision land-attack and anti-ship capabilities across key regions.
China's advancements in missile technology raise concerns for US forces, emphasizing the need to harden bases and diversify operational deployments to mitigate the threat.
