History

According to the US Air Force‘s China Aerospace Studies Institute in 2020, at least one operational People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force began receiving CJ-100s in 2019; full operational capability (FOC) was anticipated for 2022.[3]

Design

The CJ-100 is supersonic in nearly all flight phases.[2] According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in 2022, the missile has a range of 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi; 1,100 nmi).[7] In 2020, Ta Kung Pao reported the missile’s accuracy as “meter-level”.[8]

According to Chinese reports, the missile may also be carried by the Xi’an H-6K bomber.[9]
