B-611

of Chinese short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) first developed in the late 1990’s by the China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation (CPMIEC). Typical targets intended for B-611 include supply line, warehouse, missiles sites, battery units, command centers, airfields, transportation hubs, and area targets in urban surroundings.B-611 missile with CSS-X-11 is the follow-on of earlier Dongfeng-11 (M-11, with NATO reporting name CSS-7) missile. The missile weighs approximately two tons and is powered by a solid rocket motor. The inertial guidance system with mechanical gyro provides an accuracy of CEP 150 meter or better, and this can be upgraded with laser gyro or fiber-optical gyro based on the customer’s request, thanks to the modular design concept adopted. When combined with other guidance system such as satellite guidance system, the accuracy is increased ten folds. Thanks to the same modular design concept, a variety of warhead can be equipped, increasing the versatility of the missile. Typical B-611 battery would include three vehicles, the transporter / erector / launcher housing the missile, the communication and command vehicle, and a support vehicle.
