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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>H I Sutton, Naval Analyst and Naval News contributor<\/em><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>If this missile turns out to be the hypersonic YJ-21, the Type 055 cruisers would arguably become the most heavily armed warships worldwide.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Chinese PLA Navy for the first time showed footage of the launch of a new hypersonic anti-ship cruise missile from a Project 055 destroyer. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Tdb6cz3UNR\">pic.twitter.com\/Tdb6cz3UNR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; rohan panchigar (@rohanpanchigar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rohanpanchigar\/status\/1516449360694820865?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 19, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The missile was fired form a Type 055 Renhai-class cruiser.
