The B-611 is a Chinese solid-fuelled short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by China Precision Machinery Import-Export Corporation (CPMIEC).[1] The missile has a maximum range of 150 km.[2]

The B-611 development began development in 1995,[1] and first shown in 2004.[3] A newer variant was shown in late-2006.[1]

The B-611 was sold to Turkey;[2] it is not clear whether Turkey purchased complete missiles or production licenses.[4]

B611MR

The B611MR is a semi-ballistic surface-launched anti-radar missile first advertised in 2014. It uses GPS-inertial guidance and wideband passive radar. The missile is capable of flying flattened trajectory and performing pre-programmed maneuvers to reduce the chance of interception.[5]

P-12

The P-12 is a variant of the B-611. The P-12 has a longer cable,[clarification needed] and is believed to be lighter than the B-611 and carry a 300 kg HE fragmentation or blast warhead.[1]

A pair of the missiles may be carried on a 6 x 6 wheeled vehicle.[1]

The P-12 was first shown at the 2006 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition.[1]
