With the battlefields getting swamped by drones, considerable research is on for the development of drones that can kill enemy drones and possibly eliminate the enemy swarm drone in its entirety without or in conjunction other air defence systems. But the missile threat has been there for long and a country like China has a concept of using missiles en-masse or in swarms as well to beat the enemy anti-missile systems. This is significant since China has an impressive array of missiles, the recent additions being three new cruise missiles (YJ-12B, YJ-18, and CJ-100), two ballistic missiles (JL-2 and DF-41), and a hypersonic glide vehicle (DF-17), in addition to the DF-31AG and DF-26.
