Anti-missile system HQ-29: In the recently concluded Victory Day parade held in Beijing, the Republic of China, under the leadership of Xi Jinping demonstrated its military power, raising the concerns of many countries including America led by President Donald Trump. In a historic development, China showed its new anti-missile system HQ-29, which is being called “Satellite Killer”. Here are all the details you need to know about new anti-missile system ‘Satellite Killer’ HQ-29.
According to Chinese experts, the HQ-29 will not be deployed alone but with systems like HQ-19 and HQ-9C. The HQ-19 is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles, while the HQ-9C can hit targets flying in the air. By combining these three, China is creating a multi-layer shield. With this move, China has joined the list of select countries that have a complete anti-ballistic missile system, changing the security equations of not only Asia but the entire world.
The biggest feature of the anti-missile system HQ-29 is that it can target enemy targets not only in the air but also in space, which is a reason why American defense experts are expressing deep concern about this weapon.
Directly challenges America’s space supremacy, the anti-missile system HQ-29 has become a source of concern for the US. As of its present infrastructure, America was considered to be at the forefront in space-related military capabilities, but the recent launch of anti-missile system HQ-29 may put US in danger.
HQ-29 can target enemy satellites, hypersonic weapons and ballistic missiles, meaning that China is moving rapidly towards creating a security shield from air to space. The US Army and Navy are largely dependent on satellites, be it missile tracking, navigation or communication. The deployment of HQ-29 has directly threatened all these capabilities.
