China unveils B-611 short-range ballistic missile

Duncan Lennox Editor, Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems
London

China Aerospace Sciences and Technology Corporation (CASIC) has displayed for the first time a new version of the B-611 short-range ballistic missile, under development since 1995.
The solid propellant B-611 seems to have been designed for low-cost tactical army use, with a range limited to 250 km. It will likely replaceme the M-11 (CSS-7) that entered service in 1992. It may have the NATO designation CSS-X-11 and was first displayed in 2003.
The B-611 has used an 8 x 8 wheeled launcher vehicle similar to that used by the WS-2 multiple-launch rocket system, which could provide a logistics advantage. The missile is believed to be capable of flying on a depressed trajectory and of manoeuvring in-flight to change the trajectory in azimuth and range.
The missile has a length of 6 m, a body diameter of 0.4 m and weighs 1,200 kg at launch. The warhead weight is reported to be 480 kg and this can be high-explosive (HE) fragmentation or submunitions. The minimum range is 80 km and the maximum 150 km, but an improved version thought to be in development could see the latter increase to 200-250 km.
A previously unknown version of this system was shown at the Zhuhai Air Show in October. This has the designator P-12, and has two missiles mounted inside a 6 x 6 wheeled vehicle.
The P-12 missiles appear to be similar to the B-611, but with a longer cable strake. The former is also thought to be lighter and probably has a 300 kg HE fragmentation or blast warhead.
The maximum range is estimated at 200 km, but no specification details released.
The two missiles displayed at Zhuhai were mounted side-by-side in a transporter erector launcher (TEL) similar to the Russian SS-26 Iskander short-range ballistic missile system. The Chinese TEL vehicle has two large rectangular metal doors to provide environmental and damage protection to the missiles when they are being transported. It is stabilised by four hydraulic jacks and the missiles are raised to a vertical position for launch.
Two missiles can be re-loaded in less than five minutes. It is implied that the P-12 system has no in-flight manoeuvrability, but may have terminal guidance if required. This suggests that although the P-12 may enter service with the PLA, it has been designed with an eye to the export market.

Interest grows in possible development of new Chinese SRBM

Duncan Lennox, Editor Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems, London, with additional reporting by Robert Hewson, Editor, Jane's Air-Launched Weapons, London

China may be developing a new short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) that could ultimately end up on the export market.
The SRBM in question, which carried the designation P-12 when displayed at the Zhuhai Air Show in October 2006, might be an entirely new missile or just a new version of the solid-propellant B-611 SRBM (possible NATO designation CSS-X-11) that has been developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) since 1995 and was first displayed in 2003.
Two P-12s were shown at Zhuhai mounted side by side inside a 6 x 6 wheeled transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) vehicle, similar to the Russian SS-26 Iskander SRBM system. They appear to be similar to the B-611 but with a longer cable strake.
It is believed that the P-12 missile is lighter than the B-611 and probably has a 300 kg HE fragmentation or blast warhead. The maximum range might be 200 km but there were no specification details released.
The Chinese TEL has two large rectangular metal doors to provide environmental and damage protection to the missiles when they are being transported. It is stabilised by four hydraulic jacks and the missiles are raised to the vertical for launch. Two missiles can be reloaded in less than five minutes. Chinese literature on the P-12 system implies it has no in-flight manoeuvrability but may have terminal guidance if required. This suggests that, although the P-12 may enter service with the People's Liberation Army, it has been designed with an eye to the export market.
The B-611 SRBM seems to have been designed for low-cost tactical army use, with a range limited to 200 to 250 km, and probably as a replacement for the M-11 (CSS-7 and DF-11) that entered service in 1992.
The B-611 has used an 8 x 8 wheeled launcher vehicle similar to that used by the WS-2 multiple launch rocket system, which might provide a logistics advantage in service. It is believed that the B-611 is capable of flying on a depressed trajectory and manoeuvring in-flight to change its trajectory in azimuth and range. The missile has a length of 6 m, a body diameter of 0.4 m and weighs 1,200 kg at launch. The warhead weight is reported to be 480 kg and can be HE fragmentation or submunitions. The minimum range of the missile is 80 km and the maximum range is 150 km.
It is believed that an improved version, designated B-611M, is being developed, increasing the maximum range to 200-250 km. A B-611M launcher was displayed at Zhuhai in 2006 but without any information.

Chinese P12 tactical SSM system in final trials

Christopher F Foss Jane's Land Consultant
London


The China National Precision Machinery Import & Export Corporation (CPMIEC) has confirmed to Jane's that its P12 tactical surface-to-surface missile (SSM) system is now undergoing final qualification trials with the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

For enhanced strategic mobility, the missiles are transported and launched from a 6 x 6 chassis with a maximum road speed of 80 km/h and maximum road range of 2,000 km, according to CPMIEC.

The launcher carries two SSMs that are kept in the horizontal position and under full environmental protection during transportation.

CPMIEC says it takes about 18 minutes to prepare the P12 system to launch the first missile, with the second missile being launched three to five minutes later. The company claims the P12 can normally be taken out of action in under five minutes and moved to a safe position where new missiles can be rapidly loaded.

The solid-propellant missile used with the P12 system has a minimum range of 50 km, a maximum range of 150 km and has a launch weight of about 2,070 kg, of which about 450 kg is the warhead. CPMIEC said the missile has a diameter of 600 mm with the four fins having a span of 1,200 mm.

The missile is claimed to have an accuracy of within 80 m and 120 m when fitted with an inertial guidance system or within 30 m and 50 m when fitted with what CPMIEC terms a 'composite guidance system', which could be GPS/INS.

Two warheads are currently being marketed with the P12 system: high explosive or submunition. For the PLA, however, it is logical that a tactical nuclear warhead would also be available as well as perhaps other types of warhead.

The P12 transporter erector launcher is backed up by a number of support vehicles including missile resupply, command post and maintenance vehicles.

In many respects, the Chinese P12 SSM system is very similar to the export Russian Iskander-E SSM, which is transported and launched from an 8 x 8 cross-country chassis. The Russian missiles are, however, heavier and larger than the missiles used with the Chinese P12 system.

The export version of the Russian missile has a quoted launch weight of about 3.8 tonnes, a maximum range of 280 km and a minimum range of 50 km. It also carries two missiles that are retracted into the launcher when travelling. The missiles used by the Russian Army have a longer range of 400 km.

It is possible that the export version of the P12 system has a reduced range when compared to the system developed to meet the requirements of the PLA, along similar lines to what Russia has done with its Iskander-E.
