The DF-21 has also been developed into a space warfare-capable anti-satellite weapon/anti-missile weapon carrier. Though the launcher vehicle itself is mobile to reduce vulnerability, an actual launch unit requires support vehicles that can cover a 300×300-meter area, making it hard to move quickly and easier to detect.
