Silent but Deadly: China’s DF-31 Intercontinental Missile

In the modern nuclear age, not all weapons are meant to be seen in combat. Some exist purely to shape global power and deter conflict. One such weapon is China’s road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile, the Dong Feng-31.

In this video, Mighty Military takes a deep dive into the DF-31 ICBM — one of the most critical pillars of China’s strategic nuclear deterrent. We explore its development history, mobile launch concept, solid-fuel design, guidance systems, nuclear payload options, and how it provides China with a reliable second-strike capability.

From its first public appearance in 1999 to upgraded variants like the DF-31A and DF-31B, this missile represents China’s shift toward survivable, road-mobile nuclear forces capable of reaching targets across continents — including the United States in roughly 30 minutes.

This video is for educational and analytical purposes, offering a strategic overview of modern missile technology and global deterrence.
