The problem with your argument, stemming from your lack of military experience which is typical of the PDF Chinese, is that your argument contradict what the Chinese government actually does.Despite your claim of miltary or other experience this or that blah blah blah how fast you think an massive aircraft carrier can sail on an open sea? 30 - 40 knots per hour? How can the speed be translated into km per hour?
That is less than 75 km per hour. and the deck is as big as 3 to 4 football fields
Who told you the test must be done in the sea?
We can do the test on a fast moving unmanned vehicle driving at over 100 km per hour, changing speeds and changing directions on windy desert hi-ways and even during extreme thunderous weather
Does the PLA need to test our missile on an open sea to ascertain our accuracy?
And we are talking about the the test of just one missile shot each time
Tell us, what is the point of this desert simulated aircraft carrier...
If the DF-12D is equipped with its own radar seeker, real physics, not 'Chinese physics', tells us that water have a different radar signature than land.
Here is something else that you most likely do not know...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_sea_scale
High sea state, or scale, have been known to mask surface vessels, even when the radar view is from directly above.
The DF-21D is supposed to rely on over-the-horizon (OTH) radar to initiate detection and tracking of surface vessels.

Do you see that 'sea state' item again ?Abstract:
The unwanted radar echoes from the ionosphere are collectively called ionospheric clutter. It has proved to be the greatest impediment to achieving consistently good performance in long-range detection of surface vessels and sea state monitoring for HF surface wave radar (HFSWR). Ionospheric clutter can mask target/sea echoes having similar Doppler shifts. Main characteristics of sporadic-E ionospheric clutter (Es-layer clutter) are described. A new time domain coherent side-lobe cancellation (CSLC) algorithm based on subarrays is proposed to suppress this type of ionospheric clutter. Experimental results confirm that the general algorithm can achieve effective ionospheric clutter suppression while not decreasing the strength of the first-order sea echo using the data recorded by the OSMAR2003 (ocean state monitor and analysis radar, manufactured in 2003), located near Zhoushan in Zhejiang China.
So now you have to deal with at least two problems and both involves sea state monitoring. The first problem is that ionospheric clutter is a common problem involving any kind of atmospheric 'bouncing' of radar signals. The second problem is that in order to distinguish any surface vessel from varying sea state, you must be able to distinguish out the sea state in the first place. Do you understand the basics, for now ?
Note that unlike you PDF Chinese, I actually provide technical sources for my arguments.
Land does not change its surface features over a matter of a few hours. The sea does. Real physics says you must account for those unexpected changes and do it in real time.
The few Americans on this forum have represented the Army, Navy, and Air Force ( me ). We have done out of proportions in educating this forum in many things military in ways that only those who have served could do. A lot more than you PDF Chinese have done. Your respect means shit to me, kid.You've tried so hard all the time to impress but I have to tell YOU, you cant earn any bit of respect here
What a pity
