The YJ-83 is a Chinese cruise missile designed to target ships at sea. It’s similar to a long-range, guided missile that uses radar for targeting and can fly at low altitudes to avoid detection. The missile is equipped with a high-explosive warhead, making it effective against large vessels. It can be launched from different platforms like ships or submarines, providing flexible defense and offensive capabilities. The YJ-83 enhances maritime security by enabling China to weaken or defend against naval forces over considerable distances.
