AGM-69 SRAM vs Dongfeng DF-41

The AGM-69 SRAM and the Dongfeng DF-41 are both Ballistic missiles. The Dongfeng DF-41 has a range of 15,000 km — 75:1 the AGM-69 SRAM's 200 km. The AGM-69 SRAM reaches 4,322 km/h vs 31,425 km/h for the Dongfeng DF-41. The AGM-69 SRAM carries a 125 kg warhead vs 2500 kg for the Dongfeng DF-41. Launch weight is 1,010 kg for the AGM-69 SRAM vs 80,000 kg for the Dongfeng DF-41. The AGM-69 SRAM uses Inertial measurement unit and radar altimeter guidance, while the Dongfeng DF-41 relies on Inertial, likely with stellar updates and BeiDou. The AGM-69 SRAM entered service 45 years before the Dongfeng DF-41 (1972 vs 2017).
