Hello, I'm a new member to this site. I do have a question to all the Chinese members, Why you want to review so much information related to DF21A capacity? Better for the Chinese to keep DF21A capacity hidden since these missile are anti aircraft carrier serve to counter US navy strike capacity. DF21A should be a well keep secret and surprise the US navy in case the naval war break out in South China Sea. When your enemy lack the knowledge of your weapon, they can't effectively counter the threat. Keep the US navy planner in the dark about the real threat of DF21A, the US Navy top bras will seriously concern by the unknown capacity of the missile itself. When they in the dark, US navy can't effectively plan a way to countermeasure the DF21A.
Most people (including the former head of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, John Foster) think China will use a megaton EMP to negate the U.S. Navy.
We discuss the Chinese DF-21D ASBM, because Admiral Willard, Wang Genbin, and Lt. General Michael Flynn have already touched on the topic.
Wang Genbin is the Deputy Director of the 4th Department at China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation (CASIC).
Lt. General Michael Flynn, the top Pentagon Defense Intelligence Agency director, has informed the public that the Chinese ASBM has been deployed opposite Taiwan. Hence, the Chinese ASBM is an open secret.
----------
Chinese ASBM is another important tool in the Chinese kill-box
The Chinese ASBM is important, because it is an additional Mach 10 threat to a carrier or Aegis destroyer.
We have a long list of Chinese weaponry that are likely to converge in vast numbers on a carrier group from all directions.
1. megaton EMP warhead (100 miles above the Earth)
2. anti-ship missile (subsonic to supersonic terminal phase)
3. air-to-surface missile, the CM-400AKG (terminal Mach 4+ speed) that comes in at a steep dive
4. ASBM (Mach 10 anti-ship ballistic missile)
5. Yu-6 heavyweight torpedo
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said a carrier group is not survivable against a concerted Chinese attack. I agree.

You should take my views on the Chinese ASBM seriously, because I have quoted many experts.
1. Admiral Willard
2. Wang Genbin (Deputy Director of 4th Department at China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation)
3. Lieutenant General Michael Flynn
4. Former head of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory John Foster
5. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
Who have the anti-Chinese trolls in this thread quoted? Not a single authority. They just trash talk with their own ridiculous views.
I have five experts in my corner. They have zilch. Please ignore the trolls in this thread. If you can't post a citation by an expert to support your view, kindly keep your idiotic view to yourself.
