发帖数: 923 | 1 Simulation: DF-21D 'Chinese Carrier Killer'
An artist impression of the Chinese DF-21 ballistic guided missile's anti-
ship capability. The simulation shows the missile launched against an
aircraft carrier. The missile releases the upper stage that uses steering
nozzles to position the payload on the required trajectory, while dodging
missile interceptors in space...
Before reentering the upper atmosphere the upper stage releases the unitary
warhead protected by the reentry vehicle. This section is also equipped with
decoys and pyrotechnical charges that are kicked in to avoid missile
interceptors and reposition the warhead on target.
According to missile experts, such terminal manoeuvring isn't necessary when
nuclear warheads are used, but would be useful for conventional attack. DF-
21 is likely to carry a 0.3-0.5kt nuclear warhead or several conventional
warheads.
Another intriguing part of this video is the upper stage 'dodging' missile
interceptors, since this element doesn't have the means to respond to
incoming interceptors. Hence, these manoeuvres are more likely to be pre-
programmed rather than reactive.
