The B-611 is a Chinese solid-fuelled short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by China Precision Machinery Import-Export Corporation (CPMIEC). [4] The missile has a maximum range of 150–400 km (93–249 mi). [5] [2] [3] The B-611 development began development in 1995, [4] and first shown in 2004. [6] A newer variant was shown in late ...
Mid-course interception requires an ABM launch position between the ballistic missile launch site and the area defended. Terminal defense usually protects a relatively small area (i.e., Moscow, Minot Air Force Base missile fields) from projectiles in the re-entry phase. [71] [76] Role: Ballistic missile speed roughly corresponds to range. MRBMs ...
The DF-4 (CSS-3) "Chingyu" is China's first two-stage ballistic missile, with 5,550-7,000 km range and 2,200 kg payload (3 Mt nuclear warhead). It was developed in late 1960s to provide strike capability against Moscow and Guam. The DF-4 missile also served as basis for China's first space launch vehicle, Chang Zheng 1 (Long March 1). Approx ...

The HQ-19 is designed to intercept ballistic missiles, counter hypersonic glide vehicles, and engage satellites, largely comparable to the THAAD and SM-3 missile systems. The missile is guided by the Type 610A radar with 4,000 km (2,500 mi) of detection range, and the missile itself is capable of intercepting targets at 3,000 km (1,900 mi) away ...
