DH-10 cruise missile

It's been claimed that China tested its newest cruise missile, DH-10, in late 2004. But I have not heard much about this missile at all. Only that it will have a 1500 km range and GPS / inertial guidance.

The SinoDefence page doesn't have anything on this.

Has anybody heard anything about this program?

alright, can't find another thread, so I will put it here. pictures of a new LACM in service with PLA. Really, the ones we saw on 052C should go here.

Notice the UAVs behind the LACM, of note. There was a thread mentioning that CCTV7 showed UAVs attacking tanks.

DH-10 mounted on a test jig. Photo was taken several years ago. Article in Aviation Week states that RAM would be applied to reduce RCS.

the two pics looks like two different kind of missiles.how about Hung-Niao cruise missile? I heard that Huang-Niao II or III launch range also 1500km to 2000km?

they are just getting called new LACM, I'm not sure about the designations, this could well be the infamous HN series or more likely just another in the DH series. I don't know. They've came up with a new generation of air, sea and land launched long range LACMs and it's not really unveiled yet (the designations that is).

By far the best launch photos yet:

DF-10, huh?

This designation seems to confirm the strategic role of this LACM, and that it firmly belongs to the 2nd Arty... I'd be interested in the designation of the naval based variant - whether it will still have the "DF" designation, or another one.

Poland will have 3 U-Boats in close future with cruise missiles.

Can you post more on this in the 'World Armed Forces' section of the board?
An article or some details on the subs, class of missile and timetable would be great.

I've seen this pic maybe as far back as 2004, and back then people say the missile in this photo was in fact a kh-55...
