The Dong-Feng 11 (a.k.a. M-11, CSS-7) is a short-range ballistic missile developed by the People's Republic of China.
History
The DF-11 is a road-mobile short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) designed by Wang Zhenhua at the Sanjiang Missile Corporation (also known as the 066 Base) in the late 1970s.
The DF-11 is planned to be replaced by the DF-16 with greater range and accuracy.[2]
Description
The DF-11 has range of 300 km with an 800 kg payload. An improved DF-11A version has increased range of >825 km.[3] The range of the M-11 does not violate the limits set by the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). Unlike previous Chinese ballistic missiles, the DF-11 use solid fuel, which greatly reduces launch preparation time (15-30 min). Liquid-fueled missiles such as the DF-5 require up to 2 hours of pre-launch preparation. Estimates on the number of DF-11s in service vary between 500 and 600.[4][5] The launch vehicle is made by Wanshan Special Vehicle.

| DF-11A | 0.8 m (2.6 ft) | 8.5 m (28 ft) | 4,200 kg (9,300 lb) | 500 kg (1,100 lb) | 530–600 km (330–370 mi) or 700–825 km (435–513 mi) |

Exports
China is known to have exported DF-11s to Pakistan, which served as the basis for the Shaheen-1 and Shaheen-2 missiles.
