Inventory of media stir the Chinese "aircraft carrier killer " There are several
1, YJ -62
YJ -62 missiles, missile body that model, shaped like a US-made "Tomahawk "missiles, shells abdominal inlet for the main features of .
YJ -62 anti-ship missile the Chinese developed by remote universal platform anti-ship missile , shore-based launchers by heavy-duty 4 -axis cross-country carried vehicles, with a triple fitted missile launchers ; 052C destroyer carrier , Block 2, Four -mounted Eagle Hit -62 launchers. One ship-based launcher with previous the Chinese Navy any of anti-ship missile launchers are different. Abandon the traditional square box-type structure, replaced by a similar US-made "Harpoon" , the legal system "flying fish "MM-40, Russian-made SS-N-25 as the cylindrical type, but its dimensions should be larger.
September 2005 in London International Defense Exhibition , Northern Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation released the first Eagle -62 basic details of the maximum range of 280-300 km, shape and the US-made anti-ship " Tomahawk "missiles Similar. It uses jets, bombs abdominal inlet, equipped with a frequency agile technology, active pulse radar the end of seeker, than the previous anti-ship missiles radar seeker has stronger anti- blocking interference ability. in the trunk Guidance area , basically transport -8 warning aircraft and ship-borne "music station " over the horizon Active / Passive Radar through the HN900 data link (or EM3 " bulb ") for the inertial navigation system (INS) held in order correction .
Shore -based Eagle -62
In summary, YJ -62 basic reached the Western the early 90s technical level of , but is limited by turbojet engine fuel consumption , coupled with the the internal structure design of of fuel loading rate is not high, Eagle -62 range of and the advanced western the missile than Obvious gap , not a threat to a large fleet of thousands of kilometers of the air defense zone , the Chinese navy followed by full dress size, reliability and performance of more advanced miniature turbo-fan engine YJ -62A is a general trend .
National Day military parade in the appearance of the East -21 ballistic missiles.
British " Today, Chinese Defense "Web site June 4, 2010 issue , entitled "East -21 (CSS-5) medium-range ballistic missiles , "the feature article .
The article said that Dongfeng -21 is a two-stage solid -propellant single-warhead medium-range ballistic missile systems , the " Changfeng (Changfeng) Electrical Technology Research Institute , " research and development, it from the waves -1 submarine-launched ballistic missiles evolved Initially intended for strategic tasks , and later a series of models designed for nuclear strikes and general strikes ; and the latest model DF -21D is said to be the world's first is currently the only one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), Dongfeng -21 also the development of space rockets and anti-satellite / anti-missile weapons, means of delivery.
Dongfeng -21 missile research and development process
August 1965 , began solid propellant rocket technology the development of , in the " four homes " set up R & D team , presented single-stage ballistic missile the design of - Dongfeng -61 .
In 1967, the decision to build the first ship ballistic missile submarines , requirements equipped with a medium-range ballistic missile , so , Dongfeng -61 project was canceled and replaced by the development of a two-stage solid-propellant submarine-launched ballistic missile - waves -1 .
In 1970, the "four homes , " launched waves -1 design framework , " a hospital " along with the re- design , and " four homes "is to focus on of solid rocket technology the development .
of last century 70s The early , China has solid propellant rocket made several major breakthroughs. Meanwhile , the PLA began to explore the development waves -1 roadbed version of the possibility of .
In 1975, the two parallel while R & D program - submarine the waves -1 and land-based Dongfeng -21 . , The two based on the same airframe frameworks and power design.
In 1976, waves -1 / DF -21 project re- classified as " second homes " , the hospital had charge of the missile defense project , while the hospital is also responsible for of missiles transport - put up - launcher (TEL), the cartridge , Missile testing and targeting , and Dongfeng -21 other support systems .
May 1985 , Dongfeng -21 in a base for the first time successful launch.
May 1987 , Dongfeng -21 in a base second successful launch.
In 1987, Dongfeng -21A R & D plans to launch a range increase of 60 %.
1988, Dongfeng -21 medium-range ballistic missile designed stereotypes .
In 1995, DF -21A in a base for the first time successfully launched .
In 1996, the DF -21A initial operational capability .
East -21 ballistic missiles.
Dongfeng -21 (CSS-5 Mod-1)
Dongfeng -21 of the basic model , the maximum range of 1,700 km and a payload of 600 kilograms and can carry a of 500 kilotons single nuclear warhead , estimated combat accuracy of 300-400 meters in , the model did not enter service .
DF -21A (CSS-5 Mod-2)
The article said that this is the last century 90's R & D extended-range version of meet on DF -3A follow- missile ( the missile longer range but the accuracy worse than DF -21 ) needs R & D . 1991 suffered two R & D setbacks in 1993, additional funding for further design , 1995 -1996 years, were 4 successfully tested , 1996 deployment. DF -21A range of 2700 km, combat the accuracy of 100-300 meters , only for strategic tasks , by truck chassis carried can be road mobile , it is estimated there are about 60-80 pieces of Dongfeng -21 missiles and 30-40 sets of launch systems , deployed to the Second Artillery 7 missile brigade , the article will these missile brigades be listed . The article says , there are reports that some of DF -21 the warhead to conventional warheads.
DF -21C (CSS-5 Mod-3)
The article said , DF-21C for the first time in 2006 , is equipped with conventional warheads, missiles, mobile launchers and navigation systems to be upgraded , said a 2000 kg payload , a maximum range of 1,700 kilometers, with WS2500 type 10X10 - put up - launch vehicles , the new based GPS- guidance system their fight improve the accuracy of to 30-40 meters , which can perform precision strike missions .
DF -21D (CSS-5 Mod-4)
The article mentioned that the U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed that land-based anti-ship ballistic missiles - DF -21D the presence of , the world's first unique combination of mobile -type reentry vehicle (MARV) , and terminal guidance systems, DF -21C could from the land Based mobile platform launch, combat slow moving aircraft carrier battle group , it is said , a maximum range of 3,000 km, but the range is probably in load a marginal decrease the case of achieved .
Open -1 (KT-1) space launch vehicle
open -1 Rockets in the east -21 medium-range missiles developed on the basis of a four solid-fuel rockets can carry 50 kg payload to 600 kilometers of low-orbit space in December 2002 flight , 2003 9 month The second flight ; there is a relatively large KT-1A, can carry of 300 km loads to geosynchronous orbit (GTO) and the polar orbit , and KT-1B loads more.
SC-19 kinetic kill interceptors (KKV)
According to reports, in January 2007 of China's first " anti-satellite " test ( destroying their retirement weather satellite ) is used in SC-19, which is east -21 or KT-1 of the modifications.
