KD-88 (Kongdi-88) is a standoff land attack missile built by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). Its export version is called TL-17.
KD-88 is derived from YJ-83 missile. [3] KD-88 uses the body of YJ-83 but replaces the seeker with CCD/TV-seeker. The KD-88A variant uses an imaging infrared (IIR) seeker for terminal inferred homing. TL-17 is the IIR variant made for export. [4]
It can be launched from a fighter aircraft or a bomber. It features a turbojet engine with cruising speeds of Mach 0.8 to Mach 0.85, and a range of 200 kilometres (120 mi). Although comparable in size, configuration, and capabilities, the KD-88 is not a true member of the YJ-8 family. [1]
The KD-88 can be found on the Shenyang J-11 and Shenyang J-15 multi-role aircraft. [5]
The KD-88 is designated AKD-88 (K/AKD88) in the PLAAF service. [6]
At Zhuhai Airshow 2022, AVIC showcased the TL-30 anti-radiation loitering missile. The TL-30A, the air-launched variant, was mounted on a Xian JH-7A2 fighter-bomber. In the PLAAF service, the missile is designated AKF088C. AKF088C is the range-extended version of the KD-88 missile for stand-off strike. The missile is fitted with a fold-out wing, powered by a turbojet engine, and has a range of 280 km (170 mi). Multiple options of seeker is available. [7] Vehicle-mounted variant is designated TL-30B, and ship-launched version is designated TL-30C. [8] The weapon is 3.7 m (12 ft) long, weighs 270 kg (600 lb), features SINS, GNSS, and anti-radiation seeker head. The missile has a loitering time of 50 minutes. [9] During the loitering mode, the missile can appear as an aircraft to deceive enemy turning on radar, serves as a decoy to protect friendly aircraft, or transmit target information to friendly units.

The Chengdu J-10 Vigorous Dragon, is a medium-weight, single-engine, multirole combat aircraft using a delta wing and canard design. It is produced by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) for the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF). The J-10 is mainly designed for air-to-air combat, but can also perform strike missions.
The Xi'an JH-7, also known as the FBC-1 Flying Leopard, is a Chinese tandem two-seat, twin-engine fighter-bomber in service with the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF), and the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The main contractors are Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation (XAC) and the 603rd Aircraft Design Institute.
The Changhe Z-10 is a Chinese medium-weight, twin-turboshaft attack helicopter built by the Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation for the People's Liberation Army Ground Force. Designed by 602nd Aircraft Design Institute of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and Kamov Design Bureau, the aircraft is intended primarily for anti-tank warfare missions with secondary air-to-air combat capability.
The Xi'an H-6 is a twin-engine jet bomber of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The H-6 is a license-built version of the Soviet Tupolev Tu-16 and remains the primary bomber aircraft of the People's Republic of China.
The FL-7 is the export version of the SY-2 missile, specifically the liquid propellant prototype of SY-2. The export variant of the solid propellant SY-2 is known as the FL-2.
The YJ-9 is a Chinese lightweight anti-ship missile manufactured by Hongdu Aviation Industry Corporation. The export version of YJ-9 is called TL-10 anti-ship missile by Hongdu, or FL-8 by China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC). The missile is also called Kowsar by Iran's Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO).
The YJ-12 is a Chinese supersonic anti-ship cruise missile manufactured by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).
The PL-4 was an air-to-air missile (AAM) developed by the People's Republic of China. It was designed by the 612 Research Institute and the Zhuzhou Aeroengine factory. The first version, the PL-4A, was China's first semi-active radar homing (SARH) AAM. It was developed into the infrared homing PL-4B.
Lei Ting, abbreviated as LT, is a series of precision-guided munitions (PGM) developed by Luoyang Optoelectro Technology Development Center (LOTDC), a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). The first variant, LT-2, was one of the most produced laser-guided bombs in the Chinese military. The role and performance of the Lei Ting series are roughly equivalent to the Paveway.
Lei Shi, abbreviated as LS, is a series of precision-guided munitions (PGM) developed by Luoyang Optoelectro Technology Development Center (LOTDC), a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). Leishi is a type of guidance kit that can modify existing unguided bomb into guided standoff munition. These maneuverable guided bombs are similar in roles to the American Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kit but with longer ranges.
The YJ-83 is a Chinese subsonic anti-ship cruise missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy.
The Tumansky R-29 is a Soviet turbojet aircraft engine that was developed in the early 1970s. It is generally described as being in the "third generation" of Soviet gas turbine engines which are characterized by high thrust-to-weight ratios and the use of turbine air cooling.
CM501G is a Chinese land attack missile first revealed during the 9th Zhuhai Airshow held in November 2012. Developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), CM-501G is also available in air and ship launched versions upon customers' requests, but only the land-based version made its public debut at the airshow.
The HQ-6, also known as LY-60, is a family of Chinese air defense missiles developed by the Shanghai Academy of Science and Technology, largely based on the Chinese PL-11 and Italian Selenia Aspide missile.
The YJ-6 is a series of Chinese subsonic air-launched anti-ship missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy. The export version is called C-601 and the NATO reporting name is CH-AS-1 Kraken.
The PL-10, formerly known as PL-ASR, is a short-range, infrared-homing air-to-air missile (AAM) developed by the People's Republic of China. It was designed by Dr. Liang Xiaogeng (梁晓庚) at the Luoyang Electro Optical Center, which is also known as the Institute 612 and was renamed in 2002 as the China Air-to-Air Guided Missile Research Institute (中国空空导弹研究院). Development of the missile commenced in 2004 for use on stealth fighters such as the J-20.
