Question

Recently China successfully tested the new 14,000 km-range Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). What is the name of the missile?

• A. Dongfeng-41
• B. Varyag
• C. Brahmos
• D. Changez-2

Hint:

ICBM ranges: DF-41 (China, 14,000 km); Minuteman III (USA, 13,000 km); Agni-V (India, 5,000 km).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Recall Chinese defense programme. China has developed several Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs).
Step 2: Specific missile. The Dongfeng-41 (DF-41) is the ICBM tested, with a range of nearly 14,000 km, capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads.
Step 3: Eliminate wrong options. - Varyag → Chinese aircraft carrier (not missile).
- Brahmos → Indo-Russian supersonic cruise missile (not ICBM).
- Changez-2 → Satellite mission, not ICBM.
\[ \boxed{\text{Dongfeng-41}} \]
