The CJ-10 ( simplified Chinese: 长剑-10; traditional Chinese: 長劍-10; pinyin: Cháng Jiàn 10; lit. 'long sword 10') is a second-generation [1] Chinese land-attack cruise missile. [5] It is derived from the Kh-55 missile. [6] 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 ( Chinese: 东海-10; pinyin: Dong Hai 10; lit. 'east sea 10') by Western media and analysts. [7] [8] United States Department of Defense reports used "DH-10" until 2011, [9] [10] and then "CJ-10" from 2012. [11] [12] Publications may use both terms interchangeably. [1] [13] The Center for Strategic and International Studies believes that the CJ-10 is a member of the Hongniao (HN) series of missiles; [14] Ian Easton believes that the CJ-10 is the same missile as the HN-2, and that the HN-3 is the "DH-10A". [15]
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; [2] other sources claim the missile has ranges of 2,000 km (1,200 mi; 1,100 nmi), [16] or as much as 4,000 km (2,500 mi; 2,200 nmi). [17] In 2004, the CJ-10 was credited with a CEP of 10 m. [18]
The YJ-100 is a subsonic anti-ship version of the CJ-10 with a range of 800 km (500 mi; 430 nmi). 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. [19] The YJ-100 will have an onboard radar and is potentially a counter to the American AGM-158C LRASM. [20]
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). [15] The detailed production engineering data packages of the Kh-55 LACM were bought from Ukraine in 2001. [21] 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. [6]
Jane's Information Group reported the CJ-10 was tested 2004. [18] 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. [22]
The United States in 2008 estimated that 50–250 missiles were in service, [23] increasing to 150–350 in 2009. [24]
