Here is one of the projects I am working on:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa
The project is to analyze and label all Chinese Strategic Nuclear
Facilities, and calculate the approximate number of bombers, fighters,
submarines, rail mounted, and land mobile nuclear weapons and support
facilities.
The maps have multiple pages, each containing details pictures of things
that both the U.S. and Chinese Government keeps trying to downplay. The
Chinese government has way, way more long range destruction capability
then the U.S. Government has been talking about. This is a work in
progress, and it is incomplete... but more complete then most of what
the U.S. Government has openly published on the matter.
"The Great Eastern Wind" is the name of the long range Chinese nuclear
weapons program dating back into the late 70's that has much further
along of late then most realize, and which they dedicate more yearly
budget then any other program.
What is interesting is that right now China can turn most major cities
in Australia into a smoking cinder, and could inflict significant damage
to the continental United States, and over the upcoming three years they
will be able to convert any major U.S. city into a smoking cinder with
far more devastation then the Soviets were ever capable of.
Sad part is that the huge budget diversion for this program is over ten
year old, with the largest facilities being built out starting seven
years ago, with Chinese nuclear submarines (nuclear propulsion and
weaponry) working off the coasts of Seattle, Los Angles, Virginia, and
New York with impunity.
An aging, bearded Saudi national with bad kidneys, and a fetish for date
and goat cheese, cowering in a cave in Afghanistan is not what we
should be concerned about at all.
The DF-31A, DF-31B, DF-41A (land and rail mobile 8K67), and Ju Lang-2
facilities have been online and working 24 hours per day for years. The
8K67 themselves do not appear to be made in China, and are likely
Ukraine in origin. The "Eastern Wind, #5" (DF-5) missiles appear to
still be well maintained given their age and huge size.
So far I have counted over 60 DF-31 rail based launchers (over half of
these may be DF-31A), and at least 18 more DF-41A on truck based
launchers, and these new missiles fairly small and movable.
There are over 192 JL-2 SLBM missiles, but the storage facilitates and
manning are suited for over 670 missiles with warheads.
The DF-41 is the new 6 ea,100 kT warhead multi-reentry vehicle ICBMs
(600-800 kT overall yield) that and being carted around the country-side
by rail, with a few land mobile/truck based launchers.
The move from a silo based strategic missile system to one that is rail
and submarine based in a interesting change.
