They're showing an example of timed missile swarm attack with missiles calculated to arrive at the same time from different direction.

That second missile is hard to id but looks like the frame rate isn't quite fast enough to capture the entire missile. It looks like just the forward section of a staged vehicle is being powered by terminal boost but it's probably the frame rate/ refresh rate. Tip is definitely not the YJ-18's or the YJ-12's.

I think the one below is a good old YJ-83.

882(?) got repeatedly battered with with inert ASMs. You don't want the target ship to sink immediately denying other ships their shooting practice. In the end 882(?), which is an old 44 year old replenishment ship, still managed to survive and was sent to the breakers.

Firing YJ-9 from a Z-9D.

I couldn't locate the source of this image. Does anyone have it or know more about it? I'm specifically interested in the unknown (red circled) missile.

That could be ok if the dive happens outside the target's radar horizon. So at least 30 km away.

Is this supercavitating? The Russians already have missile torpedo combinations. Like, there are variants of Kalibr with torpedos as last stage.

That would be the idea. The purpose of the concept is to evade countermeasures, to approach unseen, or at least make the missile unavoidable even if seen. So a stealth dive just outside the radar horizon would be the most optimal approach.

Maybe, but I don't have the paper on hand. The illustration only shows the moment the missile enters the water. I don't know the underwater propulsion type or speed.
