I don't understand why we must make enemies everywhere. This missile is clearly defensive in nature. CARRIERS are offensive. They just wish to
protect their waters just like anyone with the means to do so should.
China has recently launched a series of satellites to support its ASBM efforts:[citation needed]
* Yaogan-VII electro-optical satellite - 9 December 2009
* Yaogan-VIII synthetic aperture radar satellite - 14 December 2009
* Yaogan-IX Naval Ocean Surveillance System (NOSS) constellation (3 satellites in formation) - 5 March 2010.[18]
