Missile Dongfeng DF-26 / CH-SS-18

The DF-26 is an intermediate-range ballistic missile, first officially revealed at the 2015 China Victory Day Parade. The United States believes this system was initially fielded in 2016, with Beijing confirming its induction into service with the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force in April 2018.

Known as the "Guam Express" or "Guam Killer," the DF-26 is a versatile system capable of delivering precision strikes against both ground and naval targets. It features a solid-fuel rocket engine and is designed to carry either a thermonuclear warhead or a conventional payload. Its mobility is enhanced by its launch from a mobile platform. The missile is deployed by the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force.
