055 DDG Large Destroyer Thread

[Jeff Head]

I'm curious as to just what kind of missile YJ-12 is. Supposedly it is similar to klub, or even a chinese copy of klub.

But at present information is sketchy and we don't even have a blurry photo of it.

We have an excellent thread dedicated to the PLAN/PRC anti-surface missiles:

PLAN Anti-ship Missileshttp://www.sinodefenceforum.com/navy/plan-anti-ship-missiles-2-6345.html

We have a resident expert in these matters who posts on SD, cirvine11.

He published an excellent article on the YJ-8 and YJ-8A:

I believe you should take the questions regarding the same to that thread and get him involved. I bet he can give some answers.

I will copy these posts over there and ping cirvine11 to it.

I thought the YJ-18 was the Klub analogue/clone?

The YJ-12, from what we've seen, has four intakes for its ramjet engine.

Whoops sorry yeah, YJ-18 is what I meant.

Fan boy guess perhaps... No official indication from the thread yet

Still no pic updates?

Wish someone can snap an update on the test mockup in Wuhan.

 

[JayBird]

It's almost a month now, still no new pics or update on the structure. I'm really curious and wondering what it looks like now.

There should be some electronic systems fitted by now. I bet the superstructure is complete and awaiting testing. And what about the integrated mast-concept?

 

[Insignius]

New photos from the mockup of Wuhan from CD.




We can see that the PJ-38 gun mockup is installed and a HHQ-10 at the aft on the hangar as well. And the mast seems to be larger now.
