We have revived the "Cold War Giant"! The September 3rd military parade showcased China's leading anti-missile system worldwide, with the biggest surprise being the HQ-29 heavy mobile anti-missile system.

The body of the HQ-29 missile is extremely large and robust, with each launch vehicle carrying two missiles. There are no similar missiles in the world today. The only ones that can match its performance are the Russian A-235 "Nudol" and the American GMD mid-course interception system, both of which are huge, cumbersome, and fixed underground silo launches. The only one similar to the HQ-29 is the American KEI "Kinetic Energy Interceptor" (KEI), which was a concept but never actually developed. Once again, the United States drew up a PowerPoint presentation but lacked the capability, while China has completed the development and equipped it!

KEI is also a mobile vehicle with dual-launch configuration, operating at altitudes of 500-1000 kilometers, originally in the upper atmosphere, with a range of up to 1000 kilometers. It uses a "collision-kill" mechanism, accelerating the missile to 21600 kilometers per hour within one minute, capable of intercepting targets with a maximum speed of 15 Maches! These indicators far exceed the current U.S. Navy Aegis + Standard-3, Army THAAD, and Patriot-3 systems, as well as the Russian S-500 and S-400 systems.

KEI originated from the late Cold War era under Reagan's "Strategic Defense Initiative" (SDI), also known as the "Star Wars" program. However, due to technical difficulty and high costs, and since the Soviet Union had already collapsed, the opponent disappeared, KEI was delayed until 2009 when it was finally abandoned. Now our HQ-29 has appeared - we have managed to develop the KEI, reviving the "Cold War super giant," achieving what the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia could not do, even with all their resources and massive investment! This military parade was full of surprises, truly amazing!
