The CJ-10 (Template:Zh) is a second-generation[1] Chinese land-attack cruise missile.[2] It is derived from the Kh-55 missile.[3] It is reportedly manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy and the China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy.[1]

Initially, the CJ-10 was identified as the DH-10 (Template:Zh) by Western media and analysts.[4][5] United States Department of Defense reports used "DH-10" until 2011,[6][7] and then "CJ-10" from 2012.[8][9] Publications may use both terms interchangeably.[1][10] The Center for Strategic and International Studies believes that the CJ-10 is a member of the Hongniao (HN) series of missiles;[11] Ian Easton believes that the CJ-10 is the same missile as the HN-2, and that the HN-3 is the "DH-10A".[12]

Description

In the September 2014 edition of Joint Forces Quarterly, an article reportedly described CJ-10 as a subsonic missile with a range of more than 1,500 km and a 500 kg payload. The article attributes the missile having a guidance package using inertial navigation system, satellite navigation, terrain contour matching, and a likely Digital Scene-Mapping Area Correlator for terminal guidance. Ships and transporter erector launchers were listed as launch platforms.[1]

In 2013, the United States believes that the missile has a range of more than 1,500 km, and can potentially carry either conventional or nuclear payloads.[13] In 2004, the CJ-10 was credited with a CEP of 10 m.[14]

The YJ-100 is a subsonic anti-ship version of the CJ-10 with a range of Script error: No such module "convert".. The missile can be air-launched by the H-6 bomber and fired from a vertical launching system of the Type 055 destroyer according to Chinese expert Li Li on Chinese television.[15] The YJ-100 will have an onboard radar.[16]

Development

The development of the CJ-10 could have potentially benefited significantly from Chinese acquisition of NATO and Soviet missile technology in the 1990s, notably the Kh-55 (purchased from Ukraine), and the Tomahawk cruise missiles (that were unexploded and purchased from Iraq and Serbia).[12] A 1995 Russian document suggested a complete production facility had been transferred to Shanghai, for the development of a nuclear-armed cruise missile. Originally it was thought that this was based on the 300 km-range Raduga Kh-15 (AS-16 'Kickback'), but it now appears that it was the Kh-55 that was transferred to China.[3]

Jane's Information Group reported the CJ-10 was tested 2004.[14] An August 2012 report by Jane's indicated that a shipborne variant of the missile may have been tested on Bi Sheng, a Chinese weapons trial ship.[17]

The United States in 2008 estimated that 50–250 missiles were in service,[18] increasing to 150–350 in 2009.[19]

Variants

CJ-10 (DF-10)
Baseline version. Known as DH-10 during the prototype phase.[20] Sometimes called the DF-10.[20]
CJ-10A (DF-10A)
Land-attack cruise missile.[21] Reportedly a stealthier, more accurate, version of the CJ-10.[12]
"DH-2000"
Supposedly a supersonic version of the DH-10A.[22]
CJ-10K
Air-launched version with a 1500 km range; may be carried by the Xian H-6K.[21]
CJ-20
Air-launched version of the CJ-10[23] with an estimated range of more than Script error: No such module "convert"..[24] Reportedly been tested on the Xian H-6; each bomber may carry four missiles externally.[25]
YJ-100
Anti-ship version with an Template:Cvt[16] or Template:Cvt range,[1] launched by H-6 bomber and Type 055 destroyer.[15][16] Air-launched YJ-100[26] and CJ-10K[1] are both referred as KD-20 in separate sources.
