| #3 carry a half ton penetrating, high-explosive warhead That's pretty much a requirement for any anti-carrier missile, carriers being protected by 3 meters of reinforced concrete as they are. |

| #2 The DF-21 has a range of 1800 kilometers and normally hauls a 300 kiloton nuclear warhead. It's a two stage, 15 ton, solid fuel rocket that could carry a half ton penetrating, high-explosive warhead, along with the special guidance system (a radar and image recognition system). right. remember that it had a "low radar signature"? sooper-dooper maneuverabilty? Ability to hover and disappear for minutes at a time? OK, maybe I made that last one up |
