The Dongfeng-61's transition from its public debut in a military parade to routine training has been far faster than the traditional combat capability generation cycle of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Firstly, this indicates that it had already completed development, finalization, trial installation, and reliability verification before its public debut, demonstrating a high level of technological maturity. Secondly, it reflects the Rocket Force's mature equipment support and training system. The Dongfeng-61 is compatible with existing command, communication, and support links. Leveraging the Rocket Force's long-standing experience in intercontinental ballistic missile training, troops can quickly master the new equipment after receiving it, shortening the combat capability generation cycle and reflecting the significant achievements of the Rocket Force's "nuclear and conventional capability, all-domain deterrence and combat" construction after the reforms. The Dongfeng-61's routine training signifies its entry into realistic combat training exercises such as field maneuvering, site conversion, and launch procedures, enriching my country's land-based nuclear counterattack capabilities, mobile survivability, and penetration strike capabilities. https://news.cctv.com/2026/11/05/ARTIf225lf6ktvBvjWannYEp261105.shtml [Automatic translation]
