You don't use a sea-based mid-course ABM for that. I bet one has almost no time to hit the ballistic missile from the sea when it's ascending and the location of the launching sub is unknown

India missile tests have China as obvious target: specialists

so I post:

India's frequent missile tests are aimed at China as an enemy, specialists said after India reportedly test-fired a Prithvi-II surface-to-surface missile on Wednesday.

India successfully launched its indigenously developed nuclear-capable Prithvi-II missile on Wednesday from a test range in the eastern state of Odisha, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported on Wednesday, citing an Indian defense official.

"India's frequent missile test launches are aimed at China. India regards China as its enemy which is unfair as China has never regarded India as a threat," Hu Zhiyong, a research fellow at the Institute of International Relations in the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Thursday.

"China does not seek an arms race in Asia. India's economy is still underdeveloped and China hopes to maintain peace and stability in the region alongside India," Hu said.

The Prithvi-II has a strike range of 350 kilometers and is capable of carrying 500 to 1,000 kilograms of warheads, PTI reported.

The launch came after the trial of an Agni-5 missile on January 18 and another Agni-1 missile test conducted on Tuesday.

The Prithvi uses combined guidance which makes its accuracy higher than the Agni series and it is capable of carrying either nuclear weapons or normal warheads, according to Song Zhongping, a Beijing-based military expert and TV commentator. This makes it more practical in military conflict, he noted.

On Monday, China conducted a successful test of its ground-based mid-course defense system, the

announced Tuesday.

The missile interception test was defensive in nature and is not targeted at any country, the ministry said.

China's anti-aircraft missile systems are surely capable of intercepting India's missiles, no matter whether they are Agni or Prithvi series, Song said.

China Claims That It Has Tested a Mid-Course Missile Defense System...



"China's Ministry of Defense posted a terse statement announcing a test. “China carried out a land-based mid-course missile interception test within its territory on Feb. 5, 2018 and achieved the desired test objective,” the statement said. It concluded by saying,“The test is defensive in nature and not targeted against any country.”

No other details were included in the statement, including what system was used in the test, leaving analysts to speculate. Many believe China was testing its SC-19 missile. The SC-19 was most famously used as the payload booster in 2007 when Beijing destroyed a weather satellite in orbit, sparking an international firestorm over the resulting space debris."

Revealed: The Details of China's Latest Hit-To-Kill Interceptor Test
The DN-3 is back in action.

By
February 21, 2018


The Chinese ballistic missile defense test that took place on February 5 involved a Dong Neng-3 (DN-3/KO09) hit-to-kill midcourse interceptor successfully striking a target DF-21 (CSS-5) medium-range ballistic missile, The Diplomat has learned from a U.S. government official with knowledge of China’s weapons programs.

The interceptor in the test was launched from the Korla Missile Test Complex, in China’s Xinjiang province. China has been conducting tests of the DN-3 interceptor since 2010. The system’s target capabilities are analogous to U.S. Standard Missile-3 midcourse interceptors, but it has yet to be successfully tested against an intermediate-range or intercontinental-range-class target. (The DN-3 is also thought to be physically much larger than the U.S. SM-3 series of missiles.)

The test was publicly reported by Chinese state media, though few details were provided. On February 5, PLA Daily reported that “China carried out a land-based mid-course missile interception test within its territory.”

The report added that the “test has achieved the desired objectives,” while noting that it was “defensive in nature” and “not targeted against any country.” The Chinese statement did not confirm that the test was intended to intercept a target missile.

This latest DN-3 interceptor test came shortly after of its Agni-V missile, a near-intercontinental-range system, with a range within 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, depending on its payload.

Exoatmospheric midcourse kinetic interceptors like China’s DN-3 target an incoming ballistic target after its active flight phase has concluded and the missile is outside the earth’s atmosphere, on its way toward descending at hypersonic speeds. This capability also makes the DN-3 a capable anti-satellite (ASAT) platform.

To successfully intercept targets in this phase, the interceptor must reach sufficient velocity and have sophisticated enough on-board sensors to successfully collide with the incoming target, using nothing but its kinetic energy to destroy the target.

China’s latest successful DN-3 test also comes just days after the U.S. Missile Defense Agency saw a , compounding on a failure from 2017 that the Agency attributed to human error. (The test targeted a more challenging intermediate-range ballistic missile target than the MRBM-class DF-21 target the Chinese DN-3 intercepted.)

The DN-3 is thought to be China’s most capable midcourse hit-to-kill interceptor, but the country has other systems capable of exoatmospheric ballistic and anti-satellite interception, including the DN-2, the HQ-19, and the ASAT-oriented SC-19.

In 2017, the U.S. Department of Defense observed in its annual report on the Chinese military that the HQ-19 might “fill the midtier of China’s BMD network.”

“The HQ-19 is still undergoing PLAAF [People’s Liberation Army Air Force]-organized testing; as of May 2016, China was focused mainly on testing the HQ-19’s capability to intercept 3,000 km ranged ballistic missiles,” the report noted.

Henri K take on the same subject. He think that the intended target is Indian Short and medium range ballistic missile

Interception of a DF-21 ballistic missile by the DN-3?




According to a US government source, China's latest mid-course missile test, which took place on February 5 this year and confirmed the next day by the Chinese Ministry of Defense, is believed to be an interception of the MRBM DF ballistic missile. -21 by the kinetic interceptor DN-3 . .

The text confirms the launch of the DN-3 missile from the Korla site, as suggested by the analysis of the NOTAMs in our post " ", but gives no indication as to the launch site of the target missile. It is believed, however, that the DF-21 has taken off from the Jiuquan Space Center (JSLC) given that it is a mid-race intercept.

Ankit Panda's article also links this Chinese missile test with the successful test of the Indian long-range ballistic missile Agni-V on January 18, and , while highlighting the higher level of complexity of the latter compared to the last test of DN-3.

According to US institutional sources, China is developing at least four missile and anti-satellite missiles simultaneously known as DN-1, DN-2, DN-3 and HQ-19. But aside from the HQ-19, no others are officially mentioned in the Chinese documents, at least those that are made public.

In American terminology, DN is the diminutive of Dòng Néng (动能) which means kinetic energy in Chinese. It is believed that these Chinese interceptors all use a KKV (Kinetic Kill Vehicle) to destroy its targets by exo-atmospheric direct impact.

But the denomination of these Chinese interceptor missiles remains confused because if the DN-1 has been designated as an ASAT in low orbit and the DN-2 ASAT by direct ascent for the geostationary orbit, the DN-1 reference is 3 had already been used in both a Chinese anti-satellite test in July 2017 and now in a mid-race missile test, although it is believed that all DN interceptor missiles are the direct descendants of the "KT-409" itself. part of an extensive Chinese kinetic weapons program called the "Project 8005" (see the history in our file " ".

Whatever the exact name of this interceptor that was used at the beginning of the month, if the information that it was an interception of the ballistic missile is accurate, it would confirm once more that the priority given by the Chinese missile defense army remains at the level of SRBM and MRBM, ie ballistic missiles that have a maximum range of 3,000 km, which pose a real threat to China - from the India, Taiwan, Japan and the two Korea for example - and whose interception solution is technologically achievable and operationally deployable in the short term.

As for targets such as intercontinental missiles (ICBMs), the most effective solution to date remains nuclear deterrence, given the amount of vectors and heads arranged by the United States of one, and Russia's other.

Now this is news Even US has not succeeded in testing multiple head killing vehicle Or even attempt as far as I know
They were talking about it but the project get cancelled. This test is remarkable feat via LKJ86

Moscow is helping Beijing build missile-attack warning system that only Russia & US have 3 Oct, 2019

A missile-attack warning system that Moscow is helping Beijing put together will drastically increase China’s defense capabilities, President Vladimir Putin said, noting that only Russia and the US currently have such technology.

"I don’t think I’ll open a huge secret here. It’ll become clear anyway. We’re now helping our Chinese partners to create a missile-attack warning system,” Putin told the high-profile guests of the 16th meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club at the Black Sea resort of Sochi on Thursday.

The President reminded attendees that Russia and the US are the only two countries in the world currently armed with such systems.

The missile attack warning system combines ground-based radars and satellite arrays in Earth’s orbit, which detect the launch of ballistic missiles and calculate their trajectory. The data is then transmitted to a command center where a decision on how to repel the attack and respond to it can be made.
