PLAN Carrier Killer Missile?

Very old news, but if you’re new to the weapon here’s tphuang’s excellent blog post two years ago which explains its potential very well.

Rumours of its operational capability range the whole spectrum, but I do think chen was trying to placate the west with the “problems” the system was facing — an extension of the “hiding our capabilities” doctrine.

As for implications, what is guaranteed is that the USN will think twice before sending a couple of cvns in the taiwan strait during a time of high tension. Anything beyond that is foggy.

Objective achieved, if that’s the case.

Any corroborating sources? What are the implications if this is true?

The combo of this missile & a Chinese version of SOSUS is too good to miss:
So is there any info out there on a Chinese Integrated Sound Surveillance chain ?
(CHISS)

Because a torpedo doesn’t have the range.

I’m surprised how this is new news.

Whats the matter with good old fashioned Submarines & Torpedos??
