On the other hand the USN uses AGEIS and that has been a proven system. Which lends credence as to why China wont use a nuclear weapon. Because they dont want it shot down over their own counrty nor do their neighbors so they might as well shoot it at their own people because that is exactly who will light up immediately thereafter.
Just an opinion.
