According to the United States, the air-launched (YJ-12) and ship-launched (YJ-12A) variants have 270 nmi (310 mi; 500 km) ranges. [4] [5] Speeds of Mach 2.5 [3] to 4 [1] have been reported. The YJ-12 may perform evasive maneuvers to avoid anti-missile threats. [7] According to War on the Rocks, a ship has 45 seconds to engage a YJ-12 after sea ...

The air-launched YJ-83K has a range of 180 km (110 mi), a cruise speed of Mach 0.9, and a 165 kg (364 lb) high-explosive, semi-armour piercing warhead. The improved YJ-83KH uses a imaging-infrared seeker and has a range of 230 km; [ 4 ] reportedly it may receive course corrections by remote link.
The YJ-21 (Chinese: 鹰击-21; pinyin: Yīngjī-èryāo; lit. 'eagle strike 21') is a Chinese hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The missile is possibly based on an export-oriented ballistic missile produced by China, named CM-401 , but with more advanced features and capabilities. [ 3 ]
The YJ-83 missile was introduced in the 1990s, giving a large boost in range. The even rangier YJ-62 was introduced in 2005. In 2008 the "Coastal Thunderbolt 1st Regiment" was established, which was the first fully mobile anti-ship unit, capable of deploying in unprepared positions and of operating in hostile electromagnetic environments. [ 8 ]
The latest variant is the YJ-83, with a range exceeding 250 km, and capable of making its final approach at Mach 1.5 to penetrate ship defenses. In addition, a variant revealed at 2006 Zhuhai Airshow designated as C-802KD/YJ-82KD has ground attack capabilities similar to the AGM-84 SLAM. All YJ8 models can be launched from a common boxed launcher.
