Description The DF-10, also known as CJ-10 or DH-10, is a long-range, ground-based cruise missile developed by China. With a range exceeding 1,500 kilometers and potentially reaching 2,000 kilometers, the DF-10 is a significant addition to China’s strategic arsenal. It utilizes a combination of inertial guidance and GPS/GLONASS for high accuracy, enabling it to strike both conventional and nuclear warheads at critical targets. Launched from mobile transporter erector launchers, the DF-10 enhances China’s long-range strike capabilities and significantly contributes to its military deterrence.
