The Dong Neng-3 (Chinese: 动能-3; lit. 'Kinetic Energy-3'; DN-3/KO09) is a Chinese ballistic missile defense system.
Design
[edit]The system is generally believed to be based on the DF-21 with elements of the SC-19 also incorporated.[1]
The interceptor is hit-to-kill.[1] It can also be used as an anti-satellite weapon.[2]
The Dong Neng-3 is believed to fill much the same role as the SM-3 however it is believed to be much larger.[2]
History
[edit]Testing of the DN-3 has primarily occurred at the Korla Missile Test Complex.[3]
A 2010 midcourse defense test was most likely a test of the DF-3.[1]
In 2015 the DN-3’s anti-satellite capabilities are believed to have been tested.[4]
In February 2018 the DN-3 was tested against a DF-21 based target in space.[5] This test was reported to be a success by the PLA Daily.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
