| Description | The Dongfeng-41 (DF-41) is a Chinese road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) considered to be one of the most advanced in the world. It is believed to be capable of carrying multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), meaning it can deliver multiple nuclear warheads to separate targets. With an estimated range of 12,000 to 15,000 km, the DF-41 can potentially reach any part of the United States. Its road-mobile design makes it difficult to track and target, enhancing its survivability. The DF-41 is a solid-fueled missile, allowing for quicker launch times compared to liquid-fueled missiles. |
