YJ-91

Missiles And Guided Munitions

The YJ-91, meaning Eagle Strike-91, is a Chinese air-to-surface cruise missile that functions as both an anti-radiation and anti-ship weapon, derived from Russia's Kh-31P system after China purchased manufacturing rights in 1994 and modified the seeker. It has an operational range of 15 to 120 kilometers, a maximum speed of Mach 3.5, and an 87 to 90 kilogram high-explosive blast-fragmentation warhead, and it is air-launched with passive anti-radiation guidance. It is operated by the People's Liberation Army Air Force and the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force in its original anti-radiation form and the anti-ship YJ-91A variant.
