The CJ-100 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SSC-13 Splinter),[3] [4] also known as DF-100,[5] is a Chinese strategic, long range high-supersonic land-attack cruise missile.
The missile system is reportedly capable of engaging land-based facilities, reinforced targets, underground bunkers and large warships.[6] The range is reportedly around 2000kmto3000kmkm (1,000milesto2,000mileskm). The missile can be mounted on a 10x10 transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicle in pair of two, or possibly launched by the H-6K bomber. US Air Force's China Aerospace Studies Institute identified and determined CJ-100 is in the People's Liberation Army service as of 2019, and full operational capability (FOC) of the missile system can be achieved by 2022.[7]
Unlike most cruise missiles in the world, nearly all flight phase of the CJ-100 is at supersonic speed.[8]
