According to the report the DF21 is supposed to be able to travel at 10 times the speed of sound which would make it highly difficult for CIWS to intercept .
900 mile range at 10 times the speed of sound ,interception would have to occur at or right after launch .
All eyes will be on this once they start the test phase as this is a game changer.
