This necropost shows how a slant launched YJ-18 might have looked like. This is an early prototype of the missile. Note the canister. I can't be sure of the length of the missile. This might have been usable on a ship without using a VLS.
Third necropost rising from the dead shows what the eventual YJ-18 land based unit looks like. From here, it appears the slant based launching was abandoned, for a full vertical launch. I like to be able to compare the length of the land based YJ-12 and YJ-18 TELs.

See the post above. You got a 12 wheeler TEL and an 8 wheeler TEL. I think the 8 wheeler is the YJ-12 and the 12 wheeler is the YJ-18.

Likely based on the DF-12 launcher but note the erectors holding up the canisters.

These might be supports for a slant launch. The use of the same vehicle gives another estimate to the YJ-12 size, assuming if this is DF-20 TEL is used, since the DF-20 is 7.8 meters long.
