Much has been written for years now about China‘s DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile, or what most media outlets call the ‘carrier-killer’ for the threat it presents to U.S. Navy aircraft carriers. But there is a more potent missile, the DF-26, that seems to have even more deadly uses besides ‘killing’ carriers: As China continues its ongoing military buildup, one of the areas of most concern to the United States military has been the continued development of its Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) strategy. China’s A2/AD strategy combines a range of military capabilities, from improved air defense systems and advanced fifth-generation fighter aircraft to more capable warships, in an effort to limit the U.S. military’s ability to effectively operate within East Asia.
