This system was reportedly designed to engage land-based facilities, hardened targets, underground bunkers and large warships, including aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. Externally it resembles a scaled up version of the DF-10A land attack cruise missile system, but carries more capable missiles. The DF-100 is already in service with the China's military.
