DF-25 (Dong Feng-25) was a Chinese two-stage, solid-propellant, road-mobile Intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). Some reports state it could deliver a single or multiple conventional warheads weighing 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) over a maximum distance of 3,200 km. There are conflicting reports on whether the DF-25 entered service, and if so, when.[2][3] The U.S. Department of Defense in its 2013 report to Congress on China's military developments made no mention of the DF-25 as a missile in service.[4]
