China succeeds in land-based anti-missile test (2)

<b>Intermediate-section interception is of great significance</b>

It is in the intermediate section that the ballistic missile flies at the greatest height. The long-range ballistic missiles fly outside the atmosphere in the intermediate section. With the existing missile technological capabilities, only high-thrust land-based missiles are able to intercept the ballistic missiles that are flying in the intermediate section.

Therefore, China's land-based intermediate-section anti-missile interception technology experiment is more difficult than the U.S. Patriot air defense missile system.

Some web users rank it alongside China's atomic test.
