The DF-26, known in the West as Dongfeng-26, is a Chinese intermediate-range ballistic missile capable of both land-attack and anti-ship roles, built by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and operated by the People Liberation Army Rocket Force. First revealed publicly at a 2015 military parade and fielded from around 2016, it has a range of about 5,000 kilometers, can carry conventional or thermonuclear warheads with roughly 100-meter accuracy, and is capable of reaching United States military installations on Guam, which has earned it the nickname Guam Express or Guam Killer.
