1,287 JohnLewis  3 months ago

The CJ-10 (simplified Chinese: ??-10; traditional Chinese: ??-10; pinyin: Cháng Jiàn 10; lit. 'long sword 10') is a second-generation Chinese land-attack cruise missile. It is derived from the Kh-55 missile. It is reportedly manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy and the China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy.Initially, the CJ-10 was identified as the DH-10 (Chinese: ??-10; pinyin: Dong Hai 10; lit. 'east sea 10') by Western media and analysts. United States Department of Defense reports used "DH-10" until 2011, and then "CJ-10" from 2012. Publications may use both terms interchangeably. The Center for Strategic and International Studies believes that the CJ-10 is a member of the Hongniao (HN) series of missiles; Ian Easton believes that the CJ-10 is the same missile as the HN-2, and that the HN-3 is the "DH-10A".This time, only the ground attack and basic air-launched type were made, and the longer sword 20 will be released later.The cockpit is air-launched and the ground is land-launched.
