Military analyst Leung Kwok-leung told CNA that the People's Liberation Army has replaced its DF-5 missiles with the DF-5A series since the former's public appearance in a military parade in 1984. Leung said he personally believes that DF-5B, which has never been shown to the public before, is the same model as one reported earlier as the DF-51 missile.
