Additionally, one-third of the "Zhi-8C" has completed the upgrade, specifically upgrading the data processing software to enhance the calculation capability for low-orbit targets.
Regrettably, the XKT-1 has not been fully finalized.
In fact, earlier this year, Li Tianling participated in the flight testing of the XKT-1, by attaching a full-size dummy missile and lifting off to obtain the flight envelope achievable by the fighter after carrying such a large missile, in order to adjust the flight control system.
As far as Li Tianling knows, there were only 11 test dummy missiles for the XKT-1 in total, and 6 have already been used.
Clearly, this quantity is far from sufficient.
Even if mass production began last month, before the situation worsened, the current number of equipped missiles would certainly not exceed 20 units.
Don't be fooled by the XKT-1 being just an airborne anti-satellite missile; it is not cheap at all.
