: CS1 maint: archived copy as title ( link) On the military parade marking the 90th Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army in 2017, DF-31AG ICBM was officially demonstrated. The missile's TEL features an extra pair of elevators near the aft of the missile unlike the TELs of the DF-31 or DF-31A, suggesting a heavier missile second and third stage than earlier variants. China has successfully tested it from a mobile launcher. The PRC has developed an improved variant of the DF-31A called the DF-31AG (G stands for 改 (Gaï), 'modified) or DF-31B with an off-road 8 axle TEL and MIRVs. It can carry maneuverable reentry vehicles. The missile was shown to the public during the parade in Beijing celebrating 70 years since the end of World War II on September 3, 2015. This upgraded missile has a reported range of 13,200 km, will allow targeting of most of the continental United States and was designed with MIRV capability to hold 3 to 5 warheads, each capable of a 90–400 kt yield, but is thought to be armed with only one warhead with penetration and decoy aids to complicate missile defense efforts. The PRC has developed an improved variant of the DF-31 called the DF-31A. This is a very powerful chinese missile system that can destroy multiple cities and military targets DF-31A It is capable of reaching targets throughout Europe, Asia, and parts of Canada and the northwestern United States. The missile is mounted on a transporter erector launcher. The DF-31 is a three stage solid-fuel rocket equipped with an inertial navigation system. In 2009, US Air Force Intelligence reported that under 15 DF-31 missiles had been deployed. Operational deployment of the missiles reportedly began in 2006. The third test flight of the missile occurred on Novemthe second test flight had taken place earlier that year. On August 2, 1999, the Chinese state news media reported the successful test of the DF-31.

In 1999, the missile was first displayed publicly at the National Day Parade. The land-based variant of the JL-2 was originally called the DF-23 but was changed later on to the DF-31 because of a change in operational requirements. ARMT (then called the 4th Aerospace Academy) was appointed as the main contractor while the research arm of the Second Artillery Corps provided contributing support. The PRC began developing the DF-31 ICBM in January 1985.

US Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center estimates that as of June 2017, five to ten Mod 1 and over fifteen Mod 2 launchers were operationally deployed. It is operated by the Second Artillery Corps (SAC) which, in 2009, was estimated to have under 15 DF-31 missiles and under 15 DF-31A missiles in inventory. It is a land-based variant of the submarine-launched JL-2. It is designed to carry a single 1- megaton thermonuclear weapon.
