The CM-102 supposedly has a range of 100km, which is far shorter than those of AGM-88 HARM and 10 km short of YJ-91's 110km range, despite being more advanced electronically. I wonder the YJ-91 and CM-102's limited range could lead to the PLAAF's relative inferiority in SEAD missions, especially against multi-layered air defenses (especially those of Taiwan, but less so with India). I mean China clearly has the technological capacity to develop something akin to HARM, but we have not seen that.
Your last sentence answered your question. They don't want you to know the true range of YJ-91 in their inventory, it is opsec. What they've shown in airshows are for export customers or general public.
Why put the detail into the targets to make them warship like?A LGB (dropped by a JH-7A) right before it hit the target.
Does that blast effect match a 1000 kg munition? Seems small to me, or is it more because it penetrated into the earth and had most of its energy absorbed that way?Bigger versions. What PGM could this be? The 1000kg YJ1000-1 that was unveiled at Zhuhai?
the shape doesn't quite match up imo, what is shown in the gif looks to have folded tail wings not unlike a paveway iiBigger versions. What PGM could this be? The 1000kg YJ1000-1 that was unveiled at Zhuhai?
