The DH-10 was first displayed in public during the 2009 National Day Parade, China is estimated to have at least several hundred DH-10 cruise missiles. The flexibility of the DH-10 is its greatest strength. The 2,500km ranged H-6K bomber can carry 7 KD-20s (the DH-10's air launched variant), giving the PLAAF the ability to reach Pacific targets distant as Hawaii. The Type 052D guided missile destroyer and Type 093A nuclear attack submarines can carry DH-10s in their vertical launch systems; sea launched DH-10s can cover over 90% of all global land mass. the next generation of this family will be the YJ-100, a proposed DH-10 antiship variant that will have an onboard radar and 800km range, potentially China's answer to the U.S. Long Range Anti-ship Missile.
