Description	The Dongfeng-16 (DF-16) is a Chinese medium-range ballistic missile with an estimated range of 800 to 1,000 kilometers, making it a theater-level weapon. It’s a solid-fueled, two-stage missile, offering improved range and accuracy over older Chinese MRBMs. Believed capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads, the DF-16 provides deployment flexibility. Its road-mobile design enhances survivability, making it harder to target. Considered more accurate than previous Chinese MRBMs, it poses a greater threat to high-value targets.
