China reportedly deploys ICBMs near Russia’s border

[GhostZ06]

“Pictures of China's Dongfeng-41 ballistic missile were exposed on Chinese mainland websites,” the Global Times said citing reports in “some Hong Kong and Taiwan media.” Russian news agencies identified one of them as the Apple Daily, a Hong Kong-based tabloid-style resource.

“It was revealed that the pictures were taken in Heilongjiang Province. Military analysts believe that this is perhaps the second Dongfeng-41 strategic missile brigade and it should be deployed in northeastern China,” the report in the Chinese daily adds. The Global Times works under the auspices of the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, though the former tends to be more controversial.

Lol. I mean is this viewed as an aggressive act toward Russia? I ask because from my limited knowledge of ICBMs, it doesn't seem like they would necessarily have to be strategically placed.

I was being tongue in cheek, but yes, it is generally seen as an aggressive act when you move your nukes up to the border of your neighbor.

Russia vs China.

I mean, obviously. But couldn't they just fire those missiles from wherever the fuck? Why would they need to be positioned at the border? Is it just for show? Let's say, to make a statement?

If nuclear bombs are mobile then they are obviously not made in China

They could hit them from anywhere. But the closer the missiles are, the faster they hit their target. It's probably just a show of force. But that's where the threat comes from.

Far better places closer to Moscow to stick nukes if they wanted to be "extremely aggressive"

Closer to target = less warning = less time to use counter-measures and strike back.

So, as expected the deployment of nuclear weapons appears to have slowed down.
80 over the last 10 years.
80 the previous 10 years.
about 400 the 10 years before that.

Or am I reading this wrong?

Actually the Chinese don't really talk about their missiles. But I think there's really no way to know. Even with the DF-31. But in any case, if the 12,000 km thing is true, that's a huge development for them.

Russia vs China.

So much this.

Watch the fireworks but stay the fuck out of it. Focus on our own borders and what happens inside them.

Range impacts accuracy. Especially on the cheap ass China missiles.
