Since there has been little additional information on this topic, I think it is safe to speculate. I bleieve that the missile that this thing is armed with is accurate and fast, as this boat seems to be designed for a rapid surprise attack, given its stealthy features and streamlined shape. Here is a list of possible canditates for the catamaran's missile.
YJ-83
YJ-62
SS-N-22?
A new indigenous anti-ship system.
But i'm not really sure about most of these. The first two fit into relatively small launchers, and if you look at the photos ofthe new FAC, the launchers on it are much bigger. (why would they spend money building a massive launcer for a small missile, unless they want to keep us guessing) There is a question mark after SS-N-22 because although it fits the size, there is no evidence that China has been able to build a launcher for the Sunburn indigenously. Fitting this thing with an indigenous missile would be easier and cheaper. And they only have the launchers on the Sovremenny class destroyers bought from Russia. In my opinion the most likely canditate is a missile we haven't seen yet. It will probably be large, supersonic and accurately guided. It is possible it may be a derivative of the Sunburn, but that is just my opinion. If anyone has any other suggestions or theories, be my guest.
