2009 Ballistic and Cruise Missile Threat

Hans has the new National Air and Space Intelligence Center Ballistic and Cruise Missile Threat.

Lots and lots of pretty pictures, especially of the DF-31, as well as new information. (Lest you think I just love missile-porn — which I course I do — the value of pictures is the IC identification of the particular system pictured.) Tables have been updated to include the number of warheads each missile carries.

I haven’t read it closely yet, but it looks like the folks at NASIC put a lot of effort into this one.
