Four previously unseen types of hypersonic strike missiles — YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20 — also turned up at the spectacular military show. They can be used by Navy fighter jets, combat vessels and submarines to carry out long-distance, ultrafast precision strikes against hostile ships and land targets, according to the PLA.
Cui said the four YJ-series missiles will be able to form a network that will enable them to work together to carry out ultrafast strikes.
"With all of these missile options, the Navy is able to make any combination to maximize the effect of their strikes. They give the Navy the most powerful portfolio of assault options that no others have ever owned," he noted.
