The JL-3 (Chinese: 巨浪-3; pinyin: Jù Làng Sān; lit. 'Giant Wave 3') is a Chinese third-generation intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in development. It is currently deployed on the Type 094 submarine and in the near future Type 096,[8] a predicted class of Chinese ballistic missile submarine.[9]
The missile is solid-fueled and has a reported range of over 9,000 km (5,600 mi).[10] Chinese and US sources reports ranges up to 7,500 mi (12,100 km).[6]
The JL-3 is expected to carry multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles—warheads capable of targeting numerous separate locations.[6] The first test flight occurred on 24 November 2018 in the Bohai Sea; it was likely a test of the launch tube's cold-launch ejection system.[10] Testing continued through June 2019.[6]
An analyst cited by The South China Morning Post stated that it would take until approximately 2025 for China to fully integrate the JL-3 into the Type 096 submarine.[11]
The development of the missile has reportedly been separated from work on the Type 096 submarine in order to accelerate its development.[11]
In November 2022, the United States Navy reported that the Type 094 submarine was rearmed with the JL-3.[12]
