YJ-100


The People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) YJ-100 is a long-range anti-ship cruise missile designed to be delivered by H-6 bombers. It is a derivative of the CJ-10 air-launched cruise 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 YJ-100 features an outstanding range of 650 kilometers and is placed between the YJ-18 with 300 kilometers range and the DF-21D with 1,500 kilometers. 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 YJ-100 long-range anti-ship missile was leaked in January 2014. In February 2015 the Chinese press stated that the subsonic YJ-100 missile has a range of 800 kilometers.
