JL-2 (Ju Lang-2/CSS-N-14) Chinese Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)

The JL-2 (Ju Lang-2/CSS-N-14) Chinese Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) is a Chinese intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missile. China likely developed the SLBM jointly with the DF-31 land-based ICBM beginning in 1970. As of 2016, China deploys four Jin-class nuclear ballistic missile submarines each armed with 12 Ju Lang-2 SLBMs. Chinese plans call for the production of a total of 12 Jin-class submarines. These systems have replaced the JL-1 (CSS-N-3) missiles aboard the Xia-class Type 092 submarine, which is no longer in service.
