Jane's has just published this:
1800km seems an absurdly long range for YJ-15, the entire point of which I thought was that it does NOT need to be carried by H-6 (which has the similar but larger YJ-12).
Also not seeing any intakes for scramjet propulsion on YJ-20.

Janes has become very lazy (or perhaps always was). "Relatively large fuselage compared with similar missiles in class" while YJ-15 is very small and compact for a Ramjet cruise missile.

(Note that despite bearing similar looks from the outside, this is NOT the same as the land-based launch system proposal which I posted here in this thread sometime ago.)
