As one of the important components of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the Chinese Rocket Force bears the heavy responsibility of safeguarding national security and territorial integrity. In modern military development, the Rocket Force, as an important strategic weapons unit of a country, plays an extremely important role. Its combat readiness has attracted much attention, especially once it enters the first level of combat readiness, the strength and support capabilities displayed by the Chinese Rocket Force will have a major impact on the navy, land and air force.
China's rocket forces are armed with various types of missiles and rocket artillery, and their strategic deterrence and actual combat capabilities have attracted much attention. Among them, the DF26 anti-ship missile, as China's second-generation anti-ship ballistic missile, has strong penetration capabilities and strike accuracy. The DF26 not only has a much longer range than the DF21D, but also has a better hit accuracy and penetration speed. The emergence of such missiles has strengthened the Chinese Navy's anti-ship strike capability and is of great significance for defending the country's maritime rights and interests.
In addition to the DF26, the Chinese Rocket Forces are armed with DF17 hypersonic ballistic missiles. As a new type of Chinese weapon, the DF17's hypersonic flight speed and penetration ability make it a weapon with great deterrent power. In the first level of combat readiness, the DF17 can be used as a pioneer to remove the enemy's air defense and anti-missile systems and provide support and protection for other missile strikes.
The strength of the Chinese Rocket Forces is reflected not only in its missile weapons, but also in other types of rocket artillery and missiles. For example, the Dongfeng series of missiles has a variety of models, including the Dongfeng-21, Dongfeng-26, etc. These missiles have different characteristics in terms of range, accuracy, and strike capability, and are capable of achieving precise strikes against various enemy targets. The Dongfeng series missiles also possess the ability to quickly maneuver and react quickly, and can quickly mobilize, assemble, and project forces in wartime, forming a continuous combat pressure.
In the organizational structure of the Chinese Rocket Forces, in addition to the conventional missile forces, there are also nuclear missile forces. China has an entire nuclear weapons regime and a nuclear no-first-use policy. The nuclear missile units of the Rocket Forces undertake the important task of maintaining the country's nuclear deterrent forces and ensuring the deterrent effect of the nuclear forces in a state of first-level combat readiness.
The Chinese Rocket Force not only has a powerful deterrent force in nuclear strategy, but also has a powerful strike capability in conventional operations. The Rocket Force is equipped with various types of strategic and tactical missiles, rocket artillery, and other weapons and equipment, and is capable of carrying out precision strikes against the enemy's military targets, important infrastructure, and strategic points, effectively weakening the enemy's combat capability and improving our combat effectiveness.
In addition, China's rocket forces also have the ability to support the operations of the navy, land and air forces. As a strategic support force, the Chinese Rocket Force is able to provide maritime fire support for the navy, long-range firepower strikes for the army, and air air defense and anti-missile combat support for the air force. The support capability of the rocket force will effectively enhance the combat effectiveness of the navy, army, and air force, and enhance the comprehensive combat capability of our army in multi-domain operations.
