Gertz: China ASAT Test Part of Growing Space War Threat
[FreeBeacon] China earlier this month conducted the latest flight test of one of its newest and deadliest strategic missiles‐the DN-3 anti-satellite interceptor.The test, as in the past, was masked by the Chinese military as a missile defense interceptor test. American defense officials, however, said the DN-3 is one of several direct ascent anti-satellite missiles capable of destroying most U.S. satellites. A more significant development was disclosed eight days later through intelligence made public during a Senate hearing: China is moving beyond the testing and development of space weapons and will soon deploy military units dedicated to attacking satellites and conducting space warfare.
