Other threads on China Space and Missiles are more than 3-years old. So thought I'll start a new one:

Pershing II was a unique and successful platform in 1980s. Almost all MARV equipped ballistic missile with terminal radar guidance in PRC have that arrangement. DF-15B, DF-16A, DF-21C, DF-21D.

Here is the DF-15B RV:

Unknown DF-21 that appeared several years ago. Haven't seen any new photos of it. Was it just a prototype? One speculation was a MIRVed DF-21 variant :confused: :confused: :confused:

PL-10E (Export version)

What makes you think this is an export specific version? Just curious.

What makes you think this is an export specific version? Just curious.

Unlike like the J-20 reveal and few others, Zhuhai is an export show. This is why you don't see PL-12 on that display. Display is for the SD-10A. The CM-302 is a another example. YJ-12A in the PLAN is not for sale. This is especially true for cruise and ballistic missiles also rockets. All of them are downgraded especially range not exceeding 300 km. Remember prior to the appearance of the PL-10, the PL-9C was for sale but not the PL-8B in the PLAAF.
