  The DF-16 is one of China's most accurate missiles, with enough 
accuracy to hit slowly moving targets. But it'll be a while until the 
DF-16 replaces all 1,000 of the older DF-11 and DF-15.<br />

 Internet buzz suggests that the DF-16 missile will make a public
 debut at the August 2015 Victory Day parade in Beijing on the 70th 
anniversary of World War II's end, as suggested by this photo of the 
missile being transported to northern China. <br />
China is quickly upgrading its formidable missile forces to match 
advances in defense technologies. While existing Chinese forces make use
 of anti-air and ballistic to deny access around large portions of 
airspace, ocean and land bordering China, newer missiles will be more 
effective against elements of America's Air Sea Battle concept, like 
stealthy drones, and mobile enemy targets like anti-ship missile 
launchers.<br />

  The DF-16 began development in the mid 2000s, where it was initially 
identified as the DF-11C, a two stage variant of the DF-11. The second 
stage has manuevering fins at the base of the second (upper) stage 
allows the DF-16 to make flight corrections to hit targets more 
accurately.<br />
<br />
The DF-16 short ranged ballistic missile (SRBM) is an improvement over 
the DF-11 and DF-15 SRBMs fielded by the PLA and Second Artillery. 
Currently, China has deployed over 1,000 of the two older missiles, 
which have ranges of about 500km-700km and an accuracy of about 30 
meters, opposite of Taiwan. According to the Project 2019 Institute, a 
think tank, the DF-16 is currently deployed to a Second Artillery 
regiment in Guangdong Province, a suitable location for targeting either
 Taiwan or Vietnam.<br />
<br />

<b>DF-16 TEL</b>  <i><span style="color: blue;">Chinese Internet</span></i>
  To accommodate the larger two stage DF-16 missile, the TEL vehicle has
 ten wheels instead of the DF-11's eight wheels. With cross country 
capability, the DF-16's TEL vehicle could go off road to dodge enemy 
aircraft, and launch the solid fueled DF-16 in under a minute.<br />
<br />
The DF-16 is larger, as evidenced by its use of a five axis transport 
erector launch (TEL) vehicle, versus the older missile's four axle TEL. 
With an estimated range of around 1,000km and a 5-10 meter accuracy, the
 DF-16 also flies higher and faster, making it more difficult for 
missile defense systems to intercept it. The DF-16's high accuracy, 
rapid flight time and its large 500kg-1000kg warhead would allow it to 
target moving enemy targets, such as ships, missile TEL vehicles and 
leadership convoys.<br />

“We’re

One

“It’s
 a big deal,” Jansson said in a March interview. “It’s a significantly

credible manner, and not just nuclear weapons.</div>

T-14 Armata MBT may show at the 2015 Moscow Victory Parade on May 9

<br />
<br />
<h1 class="b-article__header-title ">
<a href="http://sputniknews.com/military/20150426/1021398947.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><span>Russian</span> <span>T-14</span> <span>Armata:</span> <span>Most</span> <span>Powerful</span> <span>Tank</span> <span>in</span> <span>the</span> <span>World</span> <span>in</span> <span>Details</span></span></a></h1>
<br />
<div class="b-article__text">
The
 Russian Ministry of Defense officially revealed the country's most 
advanced battle tank, the T-14 Armata Main Battle Tank (MBT), arguably 
the world's deadliest armored fighting vehicle, a couple of weeks ahead 
of the grand 2015 Moscow Victory Day Parade.<br />
<br />
 <img alt="Joint Victory Parade training of foot and mechanized units" height="346" itemprop="associatedMedia" src="http://cdn4.img.sputniknews.com/images/102139/89/1021398900.jpg" title="Joint Victory Parade training of foot and mechanized units" width="640" /><br />
<br />

The new T-14 and the rest of Russia's new armored vehicles show a 
huge technological leap from the old Soviet-era military hardware.<br />

"The new vehicles are principally clean-slate designs and represent 
the biggest change in Russia's armored fighting vehicle families 
since the 1960s and 1970s," HIS Jane's 360 Defense Weekly reported.<br />

</div>
The key feature of the new tank is its unmanned remotely-controlled 
turret, with crew members seated in an armored capsule at the front 
of the tank's hull.<br />
<br />
<img alt="View image on Twitter" class="autosized-media" data-crop-x="" data-crop-y="8.33" data-height="180" data-image-index="0" data-src-2x="" data-srcset="https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCDOnE7jUEAA2kUw.jpg%3Asmall 320w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCDOnE7jUEAA2kUw.jpg%3Alarge 320w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCDOnE7jUEAA2kUw.jpg 320w" data-width="320" height="360" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDOnE7jUEAA2kUw.jpg:small" title="View image on Twitter" width="640" /> <br />
<br />

<div class="marker-quote1">
The T-14 is armed with a 125 mm smoothbore 
cannon that can fire high-powered munitions, including armor-piercing 
discarding sabot projectiles, guided missiles, shaped-charges and other 
types of munitions. The muzzle energy of the tank's cannon is greater 
than that of the German Leopard-2 Rheinmetall 120 mm gun, according 
to the Diplomat.</div>
<div class="ria-tweet" data-twttr-id="twttr-sandbox-0">

</div>
It is speculated that the Armata tank might also come with a 152 mm 
gun. If this is true, the tank will have the most powerful cannon ever 
mounted on a main battle tank. The T-14 will also carry a 30-mm 
sub-caliber gun to shoot down low-flying aerial targets, including 
planes and helicopters. To defend against incoming anti-tank missiles, 
the T-14 will have a 12.5 mm turret-mounted heavy machine gun, RT said.<br />
<br />
<img alt="View image on Twitter" class="autosized-media" data-crop-x="" data-crop-y="" data-height="300" data-image-index="0" data-src-2x="" data-srcset="https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCB2n21LXIAAboJT.png%3Alarge 1024w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCB2n21LXIAAboJT.png 600w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCB2n21LXIAAboJT.png%3Asmall 340w" data-width="600" height="320" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CB2n21LXIAAboJT.png" title="View image on Twitter" width="640" /> <br />
<br />

<div class="marker-quote1">
The Armata is literally a one tank army. The 
T-14 can defend itself from pretty much anything. Even the most modern 
Apache helicopter would not have a 100 percent chance of destroying the 
tank with its missiles, the US Foreign Military Studies Office (FSMO) 
said.</div>
<div class="marker-quote1">
<br /></div>
<div class="marker-quote1">
<img alt="View image on Twitter" class="autosized-media" data-crop-x="" data-crop-y="4.71" data-height="340" data-image-index="0" data-src-2x="" data-srcset="https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCCbf2jGW0AEkgiQ.jpg%3Alarge 1024w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCCbf2jGW0AEkgiQ.jpg 600w,https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCCbf2jGW0AEkgiQ.jpg%3Asmall 340w" data-width="600" height="363" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CCbf2jGW0AEkgiQ.jpg" title="View image on Twitter" width="640" /> </div>
<div class="marker-quote1">
<br /></div>
<div class="ria-tweet" data-twttr-id="twttr-sandbox-1">

</div>
To finish all of that, the tank has fully automated ammunition 
loading and computerized targeting systems. Despite all the guns and 
computerized technology built into the armored vehicle, the menacing 
tank only needs two servicemen to operate it.<br />

The Armata tank is set to undergo state trials in 2016, 
Uralvagonzavod is expected to supply over 2,300 of the new tanks to the 
Russian military by 2020. The Armata tanks will replace the older T-72 
and T-90 tanks.</div>
