China builds 'aerial labyrinth' to counter Agni, US missiles after Iran war lessons
•China is developing an 'aerial labyrinth' strategy to intercept enemy missiles in their initial phase, inspired by lessons from the Iran war.
•The move is a direct response to growing missile threats from India's Agni series, US Typhoon systems, Japan's hypersonic project, and Taiwan/South Korea's long-range missiles.
•China plans to deploy J-20, J-35 stealth jets, and long-endurance drones near enemy territory to destroy ballistic missiles immediately after launch.
•Intercepting missiles in the boost phase is advantageous due to slower speed, inability to change direction, and strong infrared signature, with debris falling on enemy territory.
•Chinese experts recommend upgrading PL-15 missiles into high-speed interceptors and deploying a large fleet of drones for undetected surveillance.
