China's state broadcaster has revealed video footage of its armies testing the nation's most powerful nuclear missile.

Dongfeng-41, or DF-41, is Beijing's next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike anywhere in the world with nuclear warheads and is expected to be ready during the first half of next year.

The footage, aired on China Central Television Station on November 26, shows the powerful weapon being transported and launched in disclosed desert-like locations.

중국 국영방송은 가장 강력한 핵미사일 시연 장면을 공개했다.

동풍-41은 중국의 차세대 대륙간 탄도미사일로 핵탄두를 장착해 세계 어디나 공격할 수 있으며 내년 상반기에 실전 배치될 것으로 기대되고 있다.

11월 26일 방송된 영상에는 이 강력한 무기를 사막과 같은 곳으로 이동해 발사하는 장면을 보여주었다.

DF-41 is said to have the longest range of any ballistic rockets in the world, has undergone its eighth test and is now near completion, according to China's state-run Global Times.

동풍-41은 세계의 어떤 탄도로켓보다 긴 사정거리를 갖고 있는 것으로 이야기되고 있으며 8번의 테스트를 거쳐 지금은 거의 완성단계에 접어든 것으로 보인다.

The missile is 16.5 meters (54 feet) long with a diameter of 2.78 meters (9.1 feet).

It's been developed to rival the 6th-generation missiles from the West, such as the American LGM-30 Minuteman and the Russian RT-2PM2, reported People's Daily Online.

이 미사일은 길이 16.5미터, 지름 2.78미터에 달한다.

피플즈데일리온라인에 따르면 이 미사일은 미국의 LGM-30 탄도미사일과 러시아의 RT-2PM2탄도미사일 등의 6세대 미사일 등과 맞서기 위해 개발한 것이라고 했다.

The report also claimed that the missile has a range of at least 7,500 miles (12,000km) and its striking accuracy is with 100 metres (328 feet).

It could carry up to 10 nuclear warheads, making it difficult to be intercepted.

The new missile also has a speed of more than Mach 10 (7,672mph) and can use decoy devices to find it way through the enemy's missile defence systems.

이 보고서에 따르면 이 미사일이 최대사거리는 12,000km이고 정확도는 100미터라고 했다.

10개의 핵탄두를 장착할 수 있어 비행 중인 미사일 명중시켜 떨어뜨리는 것은 쉽지 않다.

이 신형 미사일은 마하10이상으로 날 수 있고 적의 미사일 방어 시스템에서 날아오는 미사일을 교란시키기 위한 장치도 갖추어져 있다.

Yang Chengjun, a Chinese expert on missile technologies and nuclear warfare strategy, told China Central Television Station during Sunday's programme that the DF-41 missile is reliable, quick and easy to transport.

'The missile can hit every corner of the earth, allowing China to counter a nuclear strike on the country,' Yang said in the programme.

이 영상에서 중국의 한 전문가는 이 미사일은 정확하고 빠른데다 이동이 쉬우며 지구 위의 어떤 코너도 타격(정확도가 높다는 의미)할 수 있어 중국에 대한 핵위협에 대응할 수 있게 되었다고 했다.

Mr Yang claimed that all of the DF-41 tests have been successful so far while the success rates of similar tests in the United States and Russia are around 90 per cent and 80 per cent respectively.

또한 동풍-41의 모든 테스트는 지금까지 성공적이었던 반면 미국이나 러시아는 비슷한 미사일의 테스트에서 성공률이 각각 대략 90%, 80%라고 했다.

Apparently, DF-41 also requires less soldiers to operate and can be transported across 'a variety of complicated terrains'. It's said to be able to launch from road and rail mobile launcher platforms, as well as silo-based launchers.

Mr Yang also said that it only took China a bit more than 10 years to design and produce the missile from scratch, while it would take the United States and Russia 25 years to complete a similar task.

동풍-41은 작동하는데 적은 수의 인원이 필요해 다양한 지형으로 쉽게 이동시킬 수 있어 어느 곳에서나 발사가 가능하다고 했다.

이 미사일을 만드는데 단지 10년 조금 넘게 걸렸지만 미국이나 러시아는 비슷한 임무를 완수하는데 25년 걸렸다고도 했다.

He finally added that it would be up to the Communist Party of China to decide when to put the missile into service.

According to previous reports, DF-41 would be inducted by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 2018 after first being introduced in 2012.

'It can carry up to 10 nuclear warheads, each of which can target separately,' Xu Guangyu, a senior adviser of the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association told Global Times.

The missile must have 'matured considerably' if it is to be operational in 2018, Mr Xu said.

'Once the Dongfeng-41 goes into service, China's ability to protect its own safety and to prevent wars would greatly increase', he said.

Reports suggest the missile's most recent test took place this month.

State-run media claim tests took place in its Western desert area but the exact location has not been revealed.

In July, a propaganda video from China claimed that Beijing owns about 2,500 ballistic missiles.

In the video, Dongfeng-41 is highlighted as one of the 'world's top five intercontinental missiles'.

The same video, however, also said that other countries shouldn't be afraid of China's 'advanced artillery force' because Beijing wouldn't deploy the weapons unless it's provoked.

The two-minute-long propaganda video described China's astonishing arsenal through cartoon.

It started by explaining why China needs powerful weapons by drawing comparisons to animals living in the wild.

The anchor said: 'What would happen if tigers have no fangs and lions have no paws? The probably end up living with no food or even killed.

The video also claimed that China was the first country in the world to use tubular artillery.

The video then started listing some of the most powerful weapons Beijing has.

The country is said to have around 68 submarines, one home-made aircraft carrier, and the impressive J-20 stealth fighter.

In addition, the J-20 fighter jet is equipped with 'cutting-edge supersonic and stealth technologies', according to the video.

The J-20 jet made its first public flight in November 2016.

Some suggested that the aircraft was built in part from plans of US war planes, obtained by Chinese hackers jailed earlier last year. However, Beijing firmly denied the claims.

Military analysts said it was too early to tell if the jet matches the capabilities of America's F-22, which was thought to be the original model.

The report said Beijing has 270 nuclear warheads as of July 2017.

In comparison, Russia has 7,000, the United States has 6,800 and France has 300.
