Chinese Navy publicly demonstrates hypersonic anti-ship missile ahead of its 73rd anniversary celebration

For the first time, footage of the launch of the YJ-21 hypersonic missile (Yingzi-21, Eagle Strike-21) from the URO Type 055 destroyer has been published for the first time.

About two years ago, a report was published in a report of a session of the Chinese parliament examining the equipment of destroyers with anti-ship ballistic missiles, which, of course, was excluded from the classification report due to the confidentiality of the meeting. And has not avoided giving any explanation or details. In any case, this new experiment was probably carried out within the framework of this program, and this is just the beginning.
The ship- and air-based missile has a firing range of 1,000 to 1,500 km.
The rare display of weapons by the PLA could be seen as a strategic deterrent against the United States and Taiwan. Last week, the US AUG took part in a joint exercise with Japan off the coast of the Korean Peninsula.

پرو The flight profile of the new rocket seems to be more in line with the Chinese slide show that is being shared on social media. It will not be easy for enemy ships to intercept and destroy it due to unpredictable maneuvers and ups and downs.
The demonstration of the YJ-21, using a Type 055 destroyer and a Hong-6N bomber, was sent to warn Washington and Taipei that the PLA had enough strategic options to prevent access and blockade territory.

Beijing is concerned that US military assistance to Ukraine and the recent visit of a US delegation to Taiwan may lead Taipei to believe that Washington can provide the same assistance in the event of a conflict between China and Taipei.
