China, according to the British newspaper, Daily Mail.These winding tunnels house the Chinese military’s secretive strategic missile unit, responsible for maintaining and launching Dong Feng intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) when needed.The Dong Feng-41 missiles are the most advanced of their kind, with a range of 9,000 miles, surpassing the American Minuteman III’s 8,700 miles.Many of these missiles are stored up to 330 feet deep beneath Chinese mountains, making them part of what is known as the Great Wall

A sign at the construction site read: “Join with energy to create a site capable of fighting and achieving victory in battle.”Secret tactics and military disinformationThe Dragon Palaces are shrouded in secrecy due to the Chinese government’s strict policy.

Your daily schedule is linked to training needs and combat requirements.”Li Min, a unit commander, points out that these exercises aim to ensure round-the-clock combat readiness: “Through this training, we can ensure that we are always in a combat-ready state, day and night, to ensure our forces can effectively destroy targets.”With the expansion of China’s military capabilities, a senior US official has warned of Chinese space dogfighting exercises, a term used to describe combat maneuvers between satellites.General Michael Gotlin, deputy commander of space operations for the US Space Force, said that

China, such as camouflaged satellites that split into two separate units, others capable of “stalking” American satellites, as well as models with mechanical arms that can be used for offensive purposes
