Description

The YJ-20 is a ballistic or aeroballistic anti-ship missile displayed at the Chinese military parade in September 2025. The configuration matches a design previously observed being launched from a Type 055 destroyer (footage from 2022). Analysis (Naval News, Sep 2025): The terminal stage may be capable of hypersonic manoeuvring. Submarine VLS capability is a notional possibility but unconfirmed.
