Missile launch test achieved desired goals, PLA says
China DailyThe People's Liberation Army Rocket Force launched on Wednesday morning an intercontinental ballistic missile into open waters in the Pacific Ocean, marking a major display of its strategic deterrence prowess. The news release said the missile test was part of the PLA Rocket Force's annual training plan and was intended to examine the weapon's capability and performance as well as the training level of the troops. Song Zhongping, a military affairs commentator and retired PLA Rocket Force officer, said a full-range flight test is a necessary and important step in verifying the capability and performance of any new type of strategic missile. According to information published previously by the Chinese military, the PLA Rocket Force now has multiple types of ballistic missiles with intercontinental ranges, including the DF-31AG, the DF-5B and the DF-41.
