CCTV has shown a playful side this time, clearly stating that the explosive power of the DF-5 is as high as 4 million tons of TNT, and specifically marking the 500-meter accuracy. It should be noted that in the face of such destructive power, whether it's an accuracy error of 500 meters or even 5,000 meters, it doesn't matter much. For example, after the DF-5's 4 million-ton warhead explodes, everything within a radius of 1 to 2 kilometers, and the entire area within 10 kilometers, will be "absolutely destroyed." All living organisms and structures within this range will instantly turn into atoms. Therefore, a 500-meter accuracy error is not a concern at all. As the saying goes, "In the face of absolute destructive power, any accuracy error is negligible." Thus, accuracy errors are no longer very significant for strategic intercontinental missiles. Of course, under the premise of ensuring power, the lower the accuracy error, the better, because this allows for the fastest possible sending of enemies to meet their maker, and the quickest possible destruction of all enemy intercontinental missile silos.
