Either China, or they managed to establish homegrown insdustry. Or both.

If I had to guess I’d reason either an RPG or ATGM took it out; however it’s likely any number of things could have disabled it such as a light vehicle or tank although there seems to be a lack of any significant entry points.Any idea what killed it?
@Phead128 Why should we care about international law? Does international law protect China or do DF-41s protect China?
The Ukrainian foreign minister is currently whining to the UN General Assembly, pathetically begging others to fight his fight for him. You would undoubtedly find that riveting viewing.
China once trusted international law- even the ones written by white europeans, you know what that led to? white europeans blithely giving chinese territory formerly the colonial holdings of Imperial Germany, to Imperial Japan.Wasn't MMT (Modern Money Theory) that said debts don't matter to nations only to corporations and households? The same or similar applies to International Law... in that by definition the only means of "enforcement" ultimately stems from military power, or the ability and will of one nation to subject/impose its will unto another nation. The only real law is the laws of physics. In China's case, East Wind nuclear physics
No, I admit to supporting an Anti-Imperialism narrative (whether American or Russian).
Russia-China are strongly aligned, not allies. There is no formal treaty alliance between Russia and China, so I don't need to blindly support every single Russian action like a blind bot.
There is nothing wrong to support a friend economically, but China should never openly support Russia's actions and stay neutral at UNSC. It's too obvious brazen actions.
China is already targeted by the West. This is why I support strong alignment with Russia against NATO/West. Doesn't stop me from correctly pointing out legitimate criticism of Russian actions.
I never cared what West thought of China's neutral stance. China's neutral stance is aimed at the 3rd world (Africa, Southeast Asia, Middle East, etc...), not towards West.
KMT-ROC was a bigger US puppet than Yelstin's Russia because KMT-ROC was utterly dependent on US aid and donations during WW2. So no, your point is moot.
Is there proof that Yelstin or Gorbachev was a "Westeroid Puppet" for recognizing Ukrainian independence in 1989? It's too easy to simply accuse others of being a "Westoid Puppet" without any evidence.
But you ignore a third choice:
3. Anti-Imperialism narrative (both US and Russia)
But it's so convenient that anyone you disagree with, they are "US Puppets", whether it's Yeltsin/Gorbachev, Ukraine, or even myself. It fundamentally is low-effort propaganda effort.
So by default, policies and decisions made by weak people you disagree with is "Westeroid puppets" because you disagree with them? There is no good faith argument from you. I can easily accuse anyone of being a "Westeroid puppet" and automatically dismiss their argument.
Why does everything have to be black-white with you? This situation is incredibly nuanced and complex, but you simply distill it down to: "Puppet vs. Non-Puppets" world view which is incredibly low-effort propaganda.
Ironic, you call Yelstin/Gorbachev as "Westoid puppets", then proceed to call me pushing "Subjective" one-sided arguments. You don't see how ridiculous you sound.
And no, saying "Russian troops crossing and annexing Ukraine is clearly violation of international law" is perfectly objective, not subjective at all.
Yes, I obviously hate white imperialism, whether Russian or American.
I feel like calling out Russian propaganda from yourself to be extremely fulfilling actually.
And you don't regurgitate Russian propaganda?
What about a third choice:
3. Support nobody's aggression. (e.g., Neutrality)
Yes, because I regularly (see my 16 years posting history) of hostility towards American imperialism, so I consider myself pretty neutral.
Why don't you go through my 16 years of posts on SDF and look for yourself, instead of assuming I am a "Pro-US shill" because your incapability to elaborate why Russian actions is not imperialism, because it obviously is.
You mean I am fighting against imperialist propaganda (whether Russia or American). Look at my post history.
I support China to be neutral at UNSC, but economically support Russia. Why not openly support? It's too brazen and obviously violation of international law.
I am saying China should stay neutral in UNSC and not openly support Russia. Why do you so easily get triggered and accuse others of being a "Pro-US shill"?
You are arguing against a strawman. One can acknowledge Russia's deficiencies and still maintain a strong alignment. The world is not black-white extreme as you demand it to be.
