Ο κινεζικός πύραυλος DF-17 διαθέτει υπερηχητικό όχημα μεταφοράς. Το όπλο παρουσιάστηκε πρώτη φορά το 2019 και σχεδιάστηκε ειδικά για να διεισδύει εξελιγμένα αντιαεροπορικά συστήματα. Είναι δύσκολο για αμυντικά συστήματα να αναχαιτίσουν τον πύραυλο λόγω της υψηλής ταχύτητάς του και των ελιγμών του. Ο πύραυλος θεωρήθηκε λειτουργικός το 2019.
