Chinese HN cruise missile is attacking(picture)

[supersugar]

The first operational Chinese cruise missile is believed to have entered service in 1992, under the designation "Hong Niao-1 (HN-1)". Intelligence assessments appear somewhat fuzzy, but the information available indicates that it has a modest range and resembles the Kh-55, with popout wings, tail, and engine. Guidance appears to be similar to that of the TLAM-D, with INS, terrain following using a radar altimeter, and a scene-matching terminal guidance system. It can carry a nuclear, high explosive, or cluster munition warhead. Reports also suggest that an HN-2 version was introduced in 1996, with range increased to at least 1,500 kilometers (930 miles), and that an HN-3 with even more range is in development. Current versions are believed to be fired from truck launchers like the BGM-109G Gryphon, but using twin solid rocket boosters. Ship and submarine launched variants are in development.

Mod edit: Path: The missile in the picture is an American Tomohawk, not a Chinese cruise missile. Topic closed.

i think the HN-2 was based off the undetonated tomahawks from the middle east that it was rumored china had acquired. I dunno much. Based on the pic(the low chance that it isn't psed), it looks like a tomahawk.

It's a tomahawk - and they're even using the official US test photo shots.

I am so sick of these dodgey sites claiming to be new chinese weapons when they are other countries shots.

At least they didn't photoshop them.

The best one is the 2208 firing a missile which is actually an ESSM test fire photoshopped onto the image.

I have a video of this somewhere on my Hardrive and as Gary said, it's a tomahawk.
