What is CM-302 ?
In November 2016, China unveiled the CM-302 as the new export version of the YJ-12 anti-ship missile.
It is marketed as "the world's best anti-ship missile" on claims that it is supersonic throughout its flight.
It can be launched from fixed wing aircrafts, land installations, naval platforms, can disable a 5,000-tonne warship or a big frigate, and can be used in a land attack role.
Its physical characteristics are similar to the YJ-12 AShM, the missile is likely 7 m long and 0.6 m diameter, with an estimated weight of 2,000 to 2,500 kg.
It is stated to have a range of 280 km, have a 250 kg warhead, guided by BeiDou which can be updated by data-link with an active radar seeker for terminal homing to achieve a 90% probability of hitting its target, while traveling at a mid-course speed of Mach 1.5-2 and accelerating to Mach 3 or higher during the terminal flight phase.
Missile is hard to intercept due to its high speed.
Pakistan,Iran and Saudi Arab can become first customers of this AShM in near future.
No doubt, it can give great push to any naval force.
