only 1 thing i can say u right now they are seriously working on some advanced guidance system for DF21d ,
DF21 would only be effective if a carrier is close to the Chinese Eastern seaboard.other than that it would have little or no role in the naval sense. US is not stupid to get that close most things may be done from the waters thousands of kilometers away from subs. When Desert storm started US launched 2,000-4,000 tomahawks missiles in Iraq from the Persian Sea from subs many miles away on the first day.

well everyone plz dont misunderstand me ,the chinese Ballistic missile technology is very advanced if they can shoot down a satellite why cant they shoot down an aircraft carrier as only thing is required some accurate guidance which may be given by IIR seeker or Millimter wave radar .
Yes it can be shot down but if it attains MIRV or emp warheead it can really devastate an aircraft carrier group .
Well it's an indian defence forum so thats why we are underestimating it u would surprise if u post it any chinese or paki forum they would say DF 21d is superior to brahmos & would give 100 reasons to justify it
They shot down their own satellite and never shared info about it with anyone. Any nation with an IRBM and a space program can possibly do the same thing.

well brother thats why they are developing ASBM as it has very long range ,check the pics i posted on range section ,
subsequenly if they correct the terminal guidance then they would build even more long range ASBM .So they dont want the US carrier fleet to enter south china sea or get involved in taiwan strait conflict.Well the best chance for US would be to intercept it in boost phase or destroy it's launchers

Maybe US would welcome the provocation to retaliate???

You are right,many SM-3 test have not gone well. But now things seemed to have been fixed and moved on to SM-6 which can be used against ballistic missiles along with X-band radar that will pick up any threats 2,000km away.

BM attack on carrier will warrant full blown war. China can not afford that. Such Anti-ship BM has to be strategic asset.

Carriers would be attacked only in the case of a full blown war.

well ASBM is a top priority for chinese ,intel report from US suggest that chinese would use EMP attack on US aircraft carrier fleet .So it is an important weapon for their Sea denial strstegy ,They would it deploy it by 2015 -16 as stated by various americandefence blogs .

The greater the force the Chinese us against US the greater the retaliation will be by USA. And the 30 operational ICBM 's China has compared to USA's 8,000+, it's stupid and suicidal by China.

US AC and other big ships are EMP resistant...... so are some of our ships.

U.S.A. just tested Missile which can travel with speed Mach 20+. It will take only 5 Minute to Hit Shanghai from hawii Island. 1 Minutes from Japan/S.K. to China :pound:

U.S. has more Missiles with Nuke warhead than rest of the world combined.

This is will still be a few years before it is operational but something similar has been developed.
