The YJ-15 (Chinese: 鹰击-15; pinyin: Yīngjī-Yāowǔ; lit. 'eagle strike 15') is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missile powered by ramjet engines.
History
[edit]The missile was first observed during the preparation of the 2025 China Victory Day Parade in August 2025. The missile was officially revealed at the Parade on the 3rd of September, 2025.[1][2]
Design
[edit]The YJ-15 is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missile powered by ramjet engines. The YJ-15 missile appears to be based on the YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship missile, which was already operational with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).[3][4][5][6] The YJ-15 has a four-inlet design for its air-breathing engine.[7]
