JL-2
The JL-2 (Chinese: 巨浪-2; pinyin: Jù Làng Èr; lit. 'Giant Wave 2', NATO reporting name CSS-N-14) is a Chinese second-generation intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) deployed on the People's Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) Type 094 submarines.
The JL-2 provides China with its first viable sea-based nuclear deterrent.
The JL-2 was developed as part of a larger program to replace the liquid-fuelled ballistic missiles developed from 1965 with solid-fuelled missiles. The JL-2 was the SLBM variant of the land-based DF-31. Development of both missiles began in the mid-1980s, with the SLBM having less priority. The first JL-2 at-sea launch occurred in 2001 from a Type 031 submarine. The missile suffered a series of testing failures. A successful test cycle was achieved in 2012.
During the development of the missile, it was reported that China was considering modifying the missile to accommodate an anti-satellite warhead to give it a sea-based anti-satellite capability.
Type 094 deterrence patrols with JL-2 missiles began in December 2015. Each submarine may carry 12 missiles.
The JL-2 is a three-stage, solid-fueled missile, with a maximum range of 3,900 nmi (7,200 km). It carries a single 1 megaton warhead. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the missile may carry 3-8 MIRVs with yields of 20, 90, or 150 kilotons.
