The JL-3 (Chinese: 巨浪-3; pinyin: Jù Làng Sān; lit. 'Giant Wave 3') is a Chinese third-generation intercontinental-range submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in development. It is currently deployed on the Type 094 submarine and in the near future Type 096, a predicted class of Chinese ballistic missile submarine.
Chinese and US sources reports ranges up to 7,500 mi (12,100 km).; while other source claimed that the missile is solid-fueled and has a reported range of over 9,000 km (5,600 mi).
The JL-3 is expected to carry multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles—warheads capable of targeting numerous separate locations. The first test flight occurred on 24 November 2018 in the Bohai Sea; it was likely a test of the launch tube's cold-launch ejection system. Testing continued through June 2019.
An analyst cited by The South China Morning Post stated that it would take until approximately 2025 for China to fully integrate the JL-3 into the Type 096 submarine.
The development of the missile has reportedly been separated from work on the Type 096 submarine in order to accelerate its development.
In November 2022, the United States Navy reported that the Type 094 submarine was rearmed with the JL-3.
