Description

The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) YJ-100 is a long-range, subsonic, anti-ship cruise missile designed to be delivered by Type 055 class destroyers starting in 2020. It is a derivative of the YJ-100 air-launched anti-ship missile similar to the United States Tomahawk land attack cruise missile. The YJ-100 cruises at very high subsonic speed. According to the Chinese press the air-launched YJ-100 features a range of 650-to-800 kilometers but the sea-launched version may feature a shorter range if not provided with a booster or additional fuel. The new anti-ship missile is intended to engage the United States Navy's aircraft carrier battle groups at long ranges in the Pacific. The YJ-100 guidance system combines the Inertial Navigation System (INS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) for mid-course guidance; and an active radar seeker and an infrared seeker in the terminal phase. The existence of the sea-launched YJ-100 long-range anti-ship missile was leaked in February 2015.
