KT ASAT
KT series anti satellite missiles / anti ballistic missiles is reportedly a series of highly classified and thus little known missiles based on DF-21. Designed to intercept satellites and ballistic missiles, KT series utilizes experience gained from earlier FJ ABM developed decades earlier.
Four models of KT series have been developed so far, including KT-1, KT-2, KT-2A and KT-III:
- KT-1: designed to engage sub-orbital targets.
- KT-1A: upgraded KT-1
- KT-409: upgraded solid-fuelled variant
- SC-19: KT-1 variant
- KT-2: designed to engage low earth orbit (LEO) targets at altitude up to 600 km.
- KT-2A: designed to engage polar orbital targets.
- KT-III: designed to engage targets at altitude 1000 km or higher.
It is rumored that there are other versions of KT under development, but these claims have yet to be verified.
