The YJ-21 (صينية: 鹰击-21؛ پن‌ين: Yīngjī-èryāo؛ حرفياً: 'eagle strike 21'�) is a Chinese hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile.[1][2] The missile system is reportedly capable of engaging land targets and surface warships with a hypersonic, maneuverable, conventional warhead.[3] The missile is possibly based on an export-oriented ballistic missile produced by China, named CM-401, but with more advanced features and capabilities.[4] Publications of the PLA Navy suggested the YJ-21 is derived from DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missiles. The missile is claimed with a flight speed of Mach 6, and a terminal speed of Mach 10.[5] The missile was revealed by Chinese Navy ahead of its 73rd anniversary, launching from a universal vertical launch system of the Type 055 destroyer.[1][6] An export version called YJ-21E was showcased in Airshow China 2022.[7]
