On June 3, 2025, China publicly demonstrated the combat capabilities of its DF-5B intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a key component of the country's strategic nuclear deterrent. With a claimed flight range of 12,000 km and a payload estimated at 3-4 megatons of TNT, the DF-5B is capable of causing catastrophic destruction to any enemy. Its power is many times greater than that of the atomic bombs used in World War II, which positions the DF-5B as one of the most powerful weapons currently known in China's missile arsenal. The official disclosure is seen as part of a broader effort by Beijing to project confidence in its efforts to modernize the military and deter potential threats.
