Meet China’s YJ-18 Supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missile - The YJ-18 cruise missile is a Chinese cruise missile with variants for antiship and land-attack missions. It is reportedly derived from the Russian 3M-54E “Klub” missile and entered service around 2014. The YJ-18 cruise missile was developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) Third Academy starting around the mid-1990s. In 2009, references to the YJ-18 missile program surfaced in Chinese documents exploring metallurgical requirements. Among the first U.S. sources to discuss YJ-18 Antiship development was an August 2010 report which referred to the missile as the “CH-SS-NX-13.” The missile was finalized in 2013 and entered service in 2014. China first displayed the YJ-18 Eagle Strike on state media in 2014 and again during a military parade in 2019.
respective launch platforms. They are:
YJ-18 Missile, is the first production model. It was designed to launch from submarine torpedo tubes for anti-ship missions, and may have a shorter range than later variants. It entered service in 2015.
YJ-18A, A model designed to fit shipboard vertical launch systems (VLS). It is fitted aboard the Luyang III-class destroyer and Renhai-class cruiser. It entered service in 2015.
YJ-18B, A submarine-launched variant designed for land-attack missions. It fits in VLS tubes aboard the Song-class SS, Yuan-class SSP, and Shang-class SSN. It entered service between 2016-2019.
YJ-18C, A March 2019 report said that China was developing the YJ-18C, a land-attack variant designed to deploy in commercial shipping containers. Russia has developed a similar containerized launch system for its 3M-54 Klub-K missile, which fits four missiles into a single container.
And, Coastal Defense Variant, Images suggest China also deploys a truck-based YJ-18 variant for coastal defense, although U.S. government sources have not confirmed this development. It reportedly entered service around 2015. China may also be developing an aircraft-launched variant as well.
