Also the amount of space based nuclear weapons will increase by 1000 to an operational level of three thousand. Construction of all weapons is expected to be completed within 5 years from the start of construction.

Sino's got small land area, so most of our ICBMs are either UWICBMs (under water, but in fixed silos) or SBICBMs (satellite-based).
