The DongHai 10 (DH-10) (East Sea 10) is a cruise missile developed in the People's Republic of China.

According to Janes [2], the DH-10 is a second-generation land-attack cruise missile (LACM), integrated inertial navigation system, GPS, terrain contour mapping system, and digital scene-matching terminal-homing system. The missile is estimated to have a circular error probable (CEP) of 10 meters. In 2008, a Pentagon report estimated the range of the DH-10 as over 2,000 km and that from 50 to 250 missiles had been deployed[1]

However, since the PRC has not released any specs for the DH-10, the specs can only be considered best estimates by western military analysts.
