The "Destruction" missile's cruising speed is not fast enough, prolonging the time required, and needing advanced guidance.
For this reason, the technology from the SS-N-19 was also borrowed.
The "Golden Bell Shield" system carried by the "Qingzhou" class can detect high altitude targets at over 500 kilometers, and even small targets like missiles can be detected at 400 kilometers. However, for sea-skimming targets, due to the Earth's curvature, it cannot exceed 40 kilometers.
This means that when intercepting ultra-low altitude targets, the combat efficiency of the Anti-Air Cruiser will be significantly reduced.
This is also the key reason why the Empire's Navy has always emphasized data link systems and attempted to integrate ship-borne early warning aircraft with anti-air warships to expand the air defense system.
