The B-611 is a Chinese solid-fuelled short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) developed by China Precision Machinery Import-Export Corporation (CPMIEC). The missile has a maximum range of 150 km.
The B-611 development began development in 1995, and first shown in 2004. A newer variant was shown in late-2006.
The B-611 was sold to Turkey; it is not clear whether Turkey purchased complete missiles or production licenses.
The B611MR is a semi-ballistic surface-launched anti-radar missile first advertised in 2014. It uses GPS-inertial guidance and wideband passive radar. The missile is capable of flying flattened trajectory and performing pre-programmed maneuvers to reduce the chance of interception.
The P-12 is a variant of the B-611. The P-12 has a longer cable, and is believed to be lighter than the B-611 and carry a 300 kg HE fragmentation or blast warhead.
A pair of the missiles may be carried on a 6 x 6 wheeled vehicle.
The P-12 was first shown at the 2006 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition.
