DongHai 10 (DH-10) is a standard Chinese cruise missile that entered service around 2007. The "second generation" missile can be equipped with a single conventional (HE) or nuclear warhead and is said to have a range of around 2,400 km. It flies to its target with a combination of inertial navigation system and Beidou (satellite navigation) and follows the contour of the terrain very deeply. The hit accuracy should be 10 m.
DH-10 have so far been introduced to the land forces and (airborne variant CJ-10 on Xian-H-6 bombers) to air forces. Now there are apparently indications that the DH-10 is also being planned in a marine version for the use of surface ships. In contrast to the US Tomahawk - at least with the previous variants - no take-off from a standard vertical take-off system should be possible. This means that the DH-10 needs its own starter canister when it is being armored on a warship. By default, this should be eight missiles. On the one hand, this favors the retrofitting of ships that are already in service, but would then probably be at the expense of existing sea-target aircraft starters.
