January 14, 2010: China announced that its domestically developed and
manufactured HQ-9 anti-aircraft system had successfully shot down a
ballistic missile. No details were released, indicating this was an
intercept most anti-aircraft missiles of this type are capable of. In
other words, a short range missile like a SCUD. It's unclear why China
is doing this, although the fact that they could is probably the most
likely one.
