The B-611 development began development in 1995, and first shown in 2004. A newer variant was shown in late-2006.
The B-611 was sold to Turkey; it is not clear whether Turkey purchased complete missiles or production licenses.
B-611
Basic variant, with a range of 250–280 km and a 500 kg warhead.
B-611M
Upgraded variant of the B-611, with a 480 kg warhead and a range between 80–260 km. Its firepower has been doubled by putting two missiles on a single TEL, and the missile is capable of making terminal maneuvers.
B611MR
The B611MR is a semi-ballistic surface-launched anti-radar missile first advertised in 2014. It uses GPS-inertial guidance and wideband passive radar. The missile is capable of flying flattened trajectory and performing pre-programmed maneuvers to reduce the chance of interception.
P-12
The P-12 is a variant of the B-611. The P-12 has a longer cable, and is believed to be lighter than the B-611 and carry a 300 kg HE fragmentation or blast warhead.
A pair of the missiles may be carried on a 6 x 6 wheeled vehicle.
The P-12 was first shown at the 2006 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition.
BP-12
The BP-12 is a variant that has satellite guidance, and is considered the first member of the family to branch out from the B-611.
Type 621
The Type 621 has additional modes of satellite guidance, including GLONASS and Beidou. Unlike the B-611, the Type 621 is usually encased in a container.
Type 631
The Type 631 is a further development of the Type 621, with firepower doubled by incorporating two missiles into one platform, much like the B-611M. Its range is rumored to be 400 km.
BP-12A
The BP-12A is similar to the Type 631, with an estimated range of 300–400 km and a 480 kg warhead. The missile can be integrated into the SY-400 missile launcher.
