Since Trump announced on the 20th of this month that the United States will withdraw from the "Medium Guide Treaty" signed by Russia, foreign diplomatic agencies and the media have taken action to try to figure out what the real intention behind the "retrefation" of the United States is. Although Trump claims that the United States would want to withdraw from the landmark "middle-range nuclear power treaty" because of Russia's long-standing violation of the treaty. In this regard, the Russian side insisted that the US accusation has no evidence, and it also refers to the US party's breach of contract. In addition, some Russian media analysts believe that the US is determined to withdraw, and the real intention is to limit China's medium-range missiles.
According to the Russian News Agency, Bolton tried to introduce China into the scope of the discussion during the talks with Lavrov in Moscow, but the Russian side made it clear that any issues involving Chinese partners should only be discussed with Beijing.

It is reported that Trump not only wants to withdraw from the treaty, but also expects China to join the negotiations on the new treaty. In this regard, "Russia Today" reported that the medium-range missile is the core of China's nuclear capabilities. China will never give up its "Dongfeng-21D" anti-ship ballistic missile with a range of 1,450 kilometers.
According to the general definition, the range of medium-range missiles (medium-range ballistic missiles) should not be 1000~3000 kilometers? In fact, for ballistic missile standards, the East and West are not uniform, and the definition of the range of range for medium-range missiles varies from country to country. For example, the US-Russian "Guidelines on the Treaty" stipulates that medium-range missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,500 kilometers.
Next, let's take a look at the existence of the Dongfeng-21D anti-ship ballistic missile mentioned by the Russian media. The Dongfeng-21D medium-range anti-ship ballistic missile is called "aircraft carrier killer" by foreign media, and is also known as "the world's only medium-range anti-ship ballistic missile." Some experts believe that one such type of missile can hit or sink any aircraft carrier.

According to the "Hanhe Defense Review" report, assuming that the Dongfeng-21D missile is equipped with a 500 kg tungsten alloy cluster munition warhead, the number of bullets in the cluster munition can reach 1780 to 2000, which means that the unit strike density increases even if the aircraft carrier carries out High-speed navigation still can't escape the large-scale high-speed armor-piercing projectile. Therefore, the threat of the Dongfeng missile to the aircraft carrier battle group is obvious, and the warhead is indispensable.
Presumably, the army fans also know that the warhead is a very important component of the missile weapon to kill and destroy enemy weapons and equipment, facilities and vital forces. Due to the different targets of damage, different launch platforms, different ways of damage, and different cost-effectiveness of damage targets, various requirements for warhead materials have been proposed. The materials of the warhead are mainly tungsten alloy, uranium alloy, molybdenum, niobium, tungsten-copper composite and tungsten-zirconium alloy. This depends on the way of damage. It is a fragmentary warhead, a penetrating warhead, and a gathering energy. The warhead is also a dingal warhead. Among them, the tungsten alloy is an alloy composed of alloy elements such as nickel, iron, copper, cobalt, manganese, and the like. Compared with other warhead materials, tungsten alloys have high density, high melting point (3410 ° C), high strength, good plasticity, low thermal expansion coefficient, good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and machinability, and are also environmentally friendly. The advantages of pollution, low preparation cost, and simple proce.

As we all know, China is a big resource country. The reserves of strategic resources such as tungsten and molybdenum are very rich, and many high-performance armor-piercing projectiles can be built. More importantly, the Dongfeng-21D already installed in China is currently the only active anti-ship ballistic missile in the world. So? The author wants to say that although the Americans are aware of the Dongfeng-21D, they may be in a panic and the degree of panic is not reduced. However, China’s move is entirely for defense. In order to protect the Chinese people from the threat of war, China’s firm stance of adhering to the path of peaceful development and being a world peace defender has never changed.
