Satellite Images Show More Military Activity Near China’s Nuclear Missile Silos Recent satellite images show China expanding military facilities in the desert, creating a large network near nuclear silos. Analysts suggest this expansion indicates an increase in nuclear warheads and the deployment of long-range missiles capable of reaching U.S. cities. The network includes numerous launch pads, mobile missile launch sites, and air defense artillery positions.
