PL-10
The development of this medium-range PLRS with semi-active radar guidance began in the late 1970s for the needs of a heavy fighter J-8B. PL-10 originated from anti-aircraft missile HQ-61 designed for air protection of Chinese naval vessels. Despite the completed development in the late 80's, it was not included in the armament for the development of more advanced PL-11. The LY-60 portable ground-to-air missile was also being developed.
