YJ-6

The YJ-6, whose Chinese name means Eagle Strike 6, is a series of Chinese subsonic air-launched anti-ship missiles built by the Third Academy of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation. The export version is the C-601 and the NATO reporting name is CH-AS-1 Kraken. It was China's first air-launched anti-ship missile in large-scale service, developed from the land-based HY-2 missile with a more compact airframe for aircraft carriage and a newer active radar seeker. It burned liquid fuel, carried a large warhead inherited from the HY-2 and entered service in 1986. Variants include the YJ-61 with its range extended to 200 km and the YJ-63, a turbojet-powered air-launched cruise missile with an electro-optical seeker and data link for terminal steering.
