The Dongfeng 21 (DF-21; NATO reporting name CSS-5 - Dong-Feng (simplified Chinese: 东风; traditional Chinese: 東風; lit. 'East Wind') is a two-stage, solid-fuel, single-warhead medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) developed by China's Changfeng Mechanics and Electronics Technology Academy.
It was the first solid-fuelled ballistic missile deployed by the Second Artillery Corp. The missile carries a single 500 kt nuclear warhead, with up to 2,500 km (1,600 mi) range. The DF-21 also served as the basis for the submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) JL-1 (CSS-N-3), [36] used on the Xia-class SSBN. In 1996, an improved variant ...

A formidable threat to the US Navy's prized flattop fleet, China's infamous anti-ship Dong-Feng 21 missile has been nicknamed the "carrier killer"; Dongfeng means "east wind" in Chinese.. First ...
The Dong Feng 31 (simplified Chinese: 东风-31; traditional Chinese: 東風-31; lit. 'East Wind-31'; NATO reporting name CSS-10) [ 5 ] is a third-generation long-range, road-mobile, three stage, solid-fuel rocket intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in the Dongfeng missile series developed by the People's Republic of China .
The system consists of two GA35 rapid-fire automatic cannons derived from the Oerlikon 35 mm, mounted side by side in an unmanned low radar observable turret. Target acquisition is by the installed search and track radar, while either an electro-optic or optronic tracking system with infrared and visible spectrum modes provide target information.
The Ogbunigwe mines and warheads generally had a killing range of between 180 and 800 metres, [14] an effective shrapnel radius of a 90° arc and could easily wipe out a company of enemy troops. [3] The self-propelled rocket versions had a missile range of 8 kilometres. [15] The weapons were annihilating for enemy infantry and armoured vehicles ...
The system is generally believed to be based on the DF-21 with elements of the SC-19 also incorporated. [1] The interceptor is hit-to-kill. [1] It can also be used as an anti-satellite weapon. [2] The Dong Neng-3 is believed to fill much the same role as the SM-3 however it is believed to be much larger. [2]
