The Chinese Navy has unveiled a new air defense system designed to counter drones, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
In a report aired on Monday (4), it was revealed that the system has already completed the “finalization” testing phase, which certifies that a weapons system design meets all operational requirements.
According to the South China Morning Post, this means the system has already been approved to begin serial production and large-scale deployment.
During the test, successfully conducted in the Bohai Sea, the system intercepted several drones performing “high-difficulty” ultra-low-altitude and stealth attacks in a “realistic” combat simulation, according to CCTV.
“These maneuvers were designed to comprehensively test the interception capabilities of the weapons system under complex electromagnetic environments and ultra-low-altitude penetration conditions,” the report added.
