The DF-10 is a second-generation of Chinese-made mobile launcher surface-to-surface cruise missile manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy and the China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy. The missile was previously known as the CJ-10 “Long Sword” or DH-10. Foreign media outlets have speculated that China may have acquired the base technology for the DF-10 from the Kh-55 Soviet/Russian subsonic air-launched cruise missile it purchased from Ukraine in the 1990s. The DF-10 is now the world’s most advanced nuclear and conventional ground-based remote cruise missile. The DF-10 makes its first public appearance during the military parade held in 2009 to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
