SD-10 test fire pic

another new discovery on china.com. 🙂

the picture is a little blurry, but the SD-10 unique dogtooth rear fins are just abt distingushable.

my guess is that this pic is of one of the initial test firings early on in the project (probably to test the aerodynamics of the missile), this would explain the presence of the cable attached to the missile.

unfortunatly, thanks to the 102k limit, i had to shrink the pic to fit it on, this means that the image isnt as good as the one i have on my harddrive. 🙁 but still, the key features are still distingusgable.

u can find the original pic at:

but im not too sure how long it will be there.

again, comments and related stories welcome, flamers are not.

enjoy. 😀

PS, if anyone has any suggestions as how i can improve the quality of the image, please share ur expertise. thanks in advanced.
