China has begun construction of what seems to be more than 100 new silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles or ICBMs The site is in a desert near the northwestern city of Yumen. Commercial satellite images obtained by researchers at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, Calif., show work is progressing at several sites in China’s Gansu province. As per the pictures, there are 119 nearly identical construction sites and these sites have features that are identical to existing launch facilities for China’s arsenal of nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. This seems to signal a major upgrade of Beijing’s nuclear capabilities. In this video Defense Updates analyzes why China seems poised to greatly expand its nuclear arsenal?
