The DF-41 Dongfeng-41 (also called CSS-X-10) is a Chinese-made road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile which has an estimated operational range from 12,000 km to 14,000 km. The Chinese are believed to have started the design and development of the DongFeng-41 (DF-41) in 1986. In August 2014, China has acknowledged the existence of a new intercontinental ballistic missile able to carry multiple nuclear warheads as far as the United States.
