PLA Missile Thread 2 (Pictures)

I think TL-10A is just C-701/702 renamed or by a competiting factory trying to offer a similar product to the same market niche. There is a very thin line between TV guided antiship missiles and TV guided air to surface missiles, and I am guessing this is probably more of the latter.

Just a visual comparison, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't a version of the C-702. It's generally slimmer and probably lighter (which throws off the sinodefence page's estimated weight for the YJ-7).

Also, any info on the TL-6B? It looks fatter and has four different wings.

Re designations:

"TL" as in TL-10 means ???? -and is a manufacturer's label(?)
"JJ" is used for air-launched versions in Chinese service(?)

So a JJ-10 = TL-10 = YJ-10??? .... = C-100? / C-1000???

I didn't know that the Hsiung Feng (or really any missles, at least large ones or cruise missles) had the seeker off to the side like that. My technical knowledge pales in comparison to some of the others here on the forum....
