DF-21D
Model: DF-21
The DF-21D is a Chinese anti-ship ballistic missile designed to strike high-value naval targets like aircraft carriers. Current stock: Approximately 200 units. Production: High complexity due to precision-guidance systems. Historical Usage: Primarily deployed for strategic deterrence in the South China Sea. Countermeasures: Aegis-equipped naval ships with SM-3 interceptors are the best defense.
