In 1972 US intelligence estimated an IOC for this system as being expected in 1974 or 1975. Deployment actually began in 1975–76, but only four DF-4s were believed to be in place by 1984. [11] There were two versions of the missile developed, [12] one version housed in caves or garages to be rolled out on launch and another silo based version.
The DF-17 uses the rocket booster from the DF-16B short-range ballistic missile. [6] It is more difficult for missile defenses to intercept the manoeuvrable DF-ZF than a ballistic missile, whose trajectories are more predictable. [7] [5] DF-17 strikes to degrade air and missile defenses may precede the use of less survivable weapons. [5]
