The df-21d is a type of missile that is launched from the ground and designed to fly through the air and hit a specific target, like a building or a ship. Think of it like throwing a ball really far, but instead of your hand, a special launcher shoots it out.
The df-21d missile is special because it can travel really far and really fast, and it has a special guidance system that helps it hit its target very accurately. Imagine drawing a target on the ground and then throwing a ball that always lands right in the middle of that target, no matter how far away you are standing.
It's designed to be used as a weapon in times of war, but it's very important to make sure that it is used responsibly and only as a last resort. Kind of like how you only hit your big brother with a pillow if he's really bothering you, not just for fun.
