YJ-18
NATO: CH-SS-NX-13SİSTEM GENEL BAKIŞI
The YJ-18 is a Chinese anti-ship cruise missile based on the Russian Kalibr design but with significant indigenous improvements. It features a subsonic cruise phase at Mach 0.8 and a supersonic terminal sprint at Mach 3, making it extremely difficult to intercept. Deployed from Type 052D and Type 055 destroyers as well as submarines, it represents a major advancement in Chinese naval strike capability.

TAM BOYUTU GÖRÜNTÜLE
YJ-18 - CASIC (China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp)
AVANTAJLAR
- Long 540 km range enables launch from outside adversary air defense zones
- Terminal sprint at Mach 3 provides minimal interception time
- Subsonic cruise phase has very low acoustic signature
- Can be fired from standard 533mm torpedo tubes on submarines
- Land-attack variant extends combat utility beyond anti-ship role
DEZAVANTAJLAR
- Mach 3 terminal requires active radar seeker robust against ECM
- Complex guidance requires regular software updates
- Limited to submarine launch (no ship-based VLS yet)
- High unit cost limits volley size per submarine
