Naval News regular contributor and analyst H I Sutton identified the missile as the hypersonic YJ-21 anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM), based on the CM-401 design.
“The new missile outwardly resembles the CM-401 design, with the addition of a large booster phase. The CM-401 is roughly analogous to the Iskander missile although its diameter is only 600mm. It is possible that the new missile is related to the older CM-401 family, although the resemblance may be coincidental. And it may have a smaller diameter.”

The YJ-21 characteristics are unknown because there has been no official notice of the test launch. The footage, on the other hand, implies a cold-launched (possibly two-stage) missile, implying an ant-ship ballistic missile with HGV. The control surfaces are rather small which means this is likely not an anti-air missile. According to open data, the VLS fitted aboard the Type 055s can accommodate missiles with the following maximum measurements: Length of 9 meters and diameter of 0.85 meters.
If this missile turns out to be the hypersonic YJ-21, the Type 055 cruisers would arguably become the most heavily armed warships worldwide.

The missile was fired form a Type 055 Renhai-class cruiser. With 8 ships already in the water, the Chinese Navy’s Type-055 Renhai Class cruiser is making waves. It is undoubtedly the most impressive surface combatant in the PLAN (Chinese Navy) line-up, making it a natural focus of observers. New intelligence suggests that at least two more are under construction in Dalian, China.

Sometimes it’s far better to keep your cards VERY close to your chest !
Why show your hand too early, To someone who’s hell bent on taking everything from you.
Lots of ‘assuming’ going on here,
Who knows who’s got what ?
That’s a bad word, ‘got’ sorry chaps, in this instance, who’s ‘in possession of’.
😉
Owd ‘Pa Brooke’ would have given us short, sharp, thrift for using a word like that, He would have truly battered us for extending it, Just saying.
As Russia and China have hyper-missile systems it’s possible they developed the technology together after realising years ago their country’s success would make them an enemy and target of the US.
The US under Obummerbiden are more concerned about disarming the country than
defending it.
Their priority should be to defend the country militarily, financially, socially and morally, not
destroying vertually all aspects of its civility.
When logical solutions are ignored, logical violence succeeds.
Biden is doing a good jewish job
decomposing + weakening Babylon !
Anyone think maybe the Pentagram(cia) knows exactly what (fill in blank) has because they arranged it that way (aka) Spy vs spy. Anyone, lol.
TE JEW HUNTERS
we must join the and start our own hunting groupspa
Satellites.
If you can take out satellites the rest is easy.
It’s just like throwing sand at your enemy’s face.
Hypersonic missiles travel at >Mach 9 but escape velocity from Earth’s gravity is >Mach25 which NASA did repeatedly since the late 1960’s.
So why doesn’t the USA just use that technology? Could it be that NASA is full of bullshit??
Why do my comments disappear?
