Test flights were reported from 1966 to 1968 and the missile is believed to have entered service in 1970. An improved version, the DF-3A, was developed in the early 1980s, with flight tests starting in 1986. The DF-3A has an increased range and improved accuracy, and a conventional high-explosive warhead was developed for an export order to Saudi Arabia. In 1985, flight tests began of a modernised DF-3 missile with a new delivery system, probably a multiple re-entry vehicle type which, according to Chinese sources, would have the ability to place re-entry vehicles on dispersed targets. However, it is believed that the tests were unsuccessful and the missile remains with a single warhead. While the DF-3 served well as an intermediate-range ballistic missile, its limited range made it relatively ineffective against key targets. With this in mind, the Chinese developed, essentially in parallel with the DF-3, the two- stage DF-4 (designated by NATO as the CSS-3). The DF-4 missile went on to form the baseline design for the Chinese Long March satellite launch vehicles. Description The DF-3 is a single-stage, liquid-fuelled ballistic missile, 21.2 m long and 2.25 m in diameter, with four clipped delta fins at the base of the missile. The missile has a launch weight of 64,000 kg and it is thought that, in the early days, it probably used a ground-based radio-command guidance system similar to those employed on some early US missiles. This was later changed to inertial guidance. Propulsion The DF-3 uses vanes in the efflux nozzles for control during the boost phase of flight. The motor consists of a cluster of four YF-2 engines, which use A line diagram of the Chinese B-611 SRBM storable liquids, unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH) fuel and AK-27 (Peter Humphris) 1124439 oxidiser (nitric acid with 27% nitrogen tetroxide), and provide a total thrust of 96 tonnes. The motors have a burn time of around 140 seconds. This gives the B-611M version entered service in 2007. It is expected that the B-611 will DF-3 missile a minimum range of 750 km and a maximum range of 2,650 km. gradually replace the older CSS-8 (M-7) missiles.
