DF-41

DF-41 (abbr. for the Dongfeng-41, Dongfeng literally means East Wind in Chinese), is a type of solid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile currently under development by the People's Republic of China .

It has an estimated operational range of 15,000+km, is capable of MIRV delivery (up to 10), and can cover any position on the planet. The project started in the 1980s, and is now quite likely coupled with the JL-2 program. However, some sources state that the program has been abandoned due to the end of the Cold War and a change of the world political situation.
