The YJ-62 (Chinese: 鹰击-62; pinyin: yingji-62; lit. 'eagle strike 62') is a Chinese subsonic land-attack[1] and anti-ship cruise missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy.[2]

Description

[edit]
YJ-62A on a TA580/TAS5380

In a September 2014 article published in Joint Forces Quarterly, the YJ-62 is credited with a 210 kg (460 lb) warhead, a speed of Mach 0.6 – Mach 0.8 (735–980 km/h; 457–609 mph), and a sea-skimming terminal attack height of 7–10 m (23–33 ft); The missile has an inertial guidance system using GPS and BeiDou data, and an active terminal sensor.[2] A 2017 China Maritime Studies Institute (CSMI) report credits the active radar seeker with an acquisition range of 22 nautical miles (41 km).[3]

In 2015, the United States Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence considered the YJ-62 to have longer range than the 150 nautical miles (170 mi; 280 km) of the C-602 export version,[4] Figures of at least 400 km have been given.[5][3] The 2017 CSMI report notes that such long range suggests that the missile receives targeting from other platforms.[3] YJ-62A is credited with a range of up to 400 km (250 mi; 220 nmi).[2]

C-602

[edit]

The C-602 is the export version of the YJ-62, claimed to have a range of 280 km, a 300 kg (660 lb) semi-armour-piercing warhead, and GPS guidance. The reduced range is in accordance with Missile Technology Control Regime restrictions.[2]

The C-602 was revealed in September 2005,[2] and displayed outside of China for the first time at the African Aerospace and Defence exhibition in 2006.[6]

CM-602G

[edit]

The CM-602G is a land-attack version of the C-602. It is advertised as having a range of 290 km (180 mi), a 480 kg (1,060 lb) penetrating blast/fragmentation warhead, and an inertial guidance system using GPS data which may be augmented to provide man-in-the-loop control.[7]

The missile was revealed at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2012.[7]
