China's anti-ship missiles have a super comprehensive combat power, and they are also China's national protection weapons, and now hypersonic anti-ship missile technology has been learned by the US military? The American version of the Dongfeng 21D sank a 10,000-ton target ship? This news surprised many netizens.
The United States is very afraid of China's anti-ship missiles, and even in order to come up with countermeasures, it does not hesitate to use all kinds of means to make some crooked moves, and even in order to be able to effectively stop China from launching anti-ship missiles.
There is no shortage of crooked tricks, and even in order to effectively stop China from launching anti-ship missiles, the United States has come up with a way to attack China's missile launchers.
In the 2024 U.S. Navy's Brave Shield military exercise, the United States unveiled a new type of missile, tested and launched two missiles, and destroyed the 10,000-ton heavyweight ship Cleveland with precision strikes.
This move by the United States naturally makes the international community very concerned, and it is also surprised why the United States has a high-level anti-ship missile, which is a launcher that the US military uses an AML autonomous launcher that can realize multi-area and multi-angle design, and launches two PrSM missiles, which belong to a missile with precision guidance capabilities.
Can such a weapon be compared with Chinese anti-ship missiles?
In the test of the US military, two decommissioned transport ships, as mobile target ships at sea, were sunk by precision strikes, and the accuracy of such strikes shocked the outside world.
Has the United States overcome the technological gap in anti-ship missiles? Such an accurate shooting and destruction capability also worries many netizens, if the United States can also have anti-ship missiles like the mainland Dongfeng 21D, then it will also pose a security threat to the ships of the mainland navy.
But even with the same type of weapons, there is a comparison between the level of technology and the intensity of destruction, and what is the real level of the US military's anti-ship missiles? Can this be compared with the mainland's Dongfeng 21D, can it have the same combat power and become a competitive opponent?
The US media also reported on the US Navy's missile test, and the outside world also had a better understanding of the US missile. The missile launcher used by the US military this time can be unmanned and can be controlled unmanned, and the target can be locked and attacked by virtue of the program set up first.
Once such a missile is deployed in the waters around the mainland, it will inevitably pose a threat to the mainland's maritime security.
This is a land-based tactical missile developed by the United States, which was originally intended to be used in the US Army to increase long-range precision strike capabilities and achieve greater destruction power in war.
Although the PrSM missile has a precise range, the earliest launch degree can only reach 150 kilometers, and now it is claimed to be able to launch within an effective range of 500 kilometers after upgrading, but compared with the Dongfeng 21D, there is still a big gap in comprehensive strength.
First of all, the range of the Dongfeng-21 can reach 1500 kilometers, and the guidance ability and the accuracy of the strike are very powerful. Moreover, the Dongfeng 21D has been continuously improved, and its ability to change orbit during flight is unpredictable, unpredictable, and cannot achieve accurate interception.
PrSM has also undergone many adjustments and upgrades, and the purpose of the U.S. military is obvious, that is, it hopes to create a missile suitable for long-range use, which can compete with China's Dongfeng anti-ship missile, and it is best to have similar strength, which is what the U.S. military is looking forward to, but from the actual performance, it is not so easy to achieve the power of Dongfeng 21D.
The power of the Dongfeng 21D has been able to accurately cover the scope of the first island chain deployed by the United States, and has the power to break through the surrounding encirclement, so that the enemy can not form a tight siege, and can also penetrate quickly when necessary, so as to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy.
The length of the Dongfeng 21D missile is about 15 meters, the length of the PrSM missile is only 4 meters, the total weight is 91 kilograms, and now the maximum range declared by the US military officer is 500 kilometers, and the actual range should be able to reach about 1,000 kilometers, but this strength is still far from the mainland's Dongfeng 21D, although PrSM also uses solid fuel, and satellite guidance, and the deviation test shows that there is only a few meters of error, and the accuracy is also very high.
However, the strong coverage capability of the Dongfeng 21D, the effective range can reach 1500 kilometers, and the accuracy of tuning is also better improved and continuously upgraded on the basis of the independent satellite system.
The United States has an obsession with anti-ship missiles, because the technology is not as strong as that of China and Russia, so the United States even has a very urgent ambition in anti-ship missiles and hypersonic missiles, so it has a variety of attempts to upgrade the PrSM missile to the ground tactical missile, trying to build a US version of the anti-ship missile, which is best comparable to the Dongfeng anti-ship ballistic. But it is clear that there is still a long way to go to catch up with the Dongfeng 21D.
