KD-88 (Kongdi-88) is a standoff land attack missile built by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). Its export version is called TL-17.

KD-88/TL-17

KD-88 is derived from YJ-83 missile.[3] KD-88 uses the body of YJ-83 but replaces the seeker with CCD/TV-seeker and inferred homing. The imaging infrared (IIR). TL-17 is the IIR variant made for export.[4]

It can be launched from a fighter aircraft or a bomber. It features a turbojet engine with cruising speeds of Mach 0.8 to Mach 0.85, and a range of 200 kilometres (120 mi). Although comparable in size, configuration, and capabilities, the KD-88 is not a true member of the YJ-8 family.[1]

The KD-88 can be found on the Shenyang J-11 and Shenyang J-15 multi-role aircraft.[5]

The KD-88 is designated AKD-88 (K/AKD88) in the PLAAF service.[6]

AKF088C/TL-30

At Zhuhai Airshow 2022, AVIC showcased the TL-30 anti-radiation loitering missile. The TL-30A, the air-launched variant, was mounted on a Xian JH-7A2 fighter-bomber. In the PLAAF service, the missile is designated AKF088C. AKF088C is the range-extended version of the KD-88 missile for stand-off strike. The missile is fitted with a fold-out wing, powered by a turbojet engine, and has a range of 280 km (170 mi). Multiple options of seeker is available.[7] Vehicle-mounted variant is designated TL-30B, and ship-launched version is designated TL-30C.[8] The weapon is 3.7 m (12 ft) long, weighs 270 kg (600 lb), features SINS, GNSS, and anti-radiation seeker hea. The missile has a loitering time of 50 minutes.[9] During the loitering mode, the missile can appear as an aircraft to deceive enemy turning on radar, serves as a decoy to protect friendly aircraft, or transmit target information to friendly units.[10][11]
