Description	The Dongfeng-15 (DF-15), also known as the CSS-6, is a Chinese short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) that plays a significant role in China’s conventional military capabilities. It’s a solid-fueled, single-stage missile, offering rapid deployment and launch capabilities. The DF-15 has an estimated range of approximately 600-700 km, making it suitable for targeting locations within a specific theater of operations. It’s primarily designed for conventional strikes, carrying high-explosive or other conventional warheads. While its primary role is conventional, there is speculation about its potential to carry nuclear warheads, adding a strategic dimension. The DF-15 is road-mobile, enhancing its survivability and making it difficult for adversaries to locate and neutralize. This road mobility increases its tactical flexibility. Several variants of the DF-15 exist, with improvements in accuracy and range. These variants include the DF-15B and DF-15C, which are believed to have enhanced precision and potentially different warhead options.
