People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force operate Russian made Improved Kilo class Project 636M diesel-electric submarines which are capable of firing Russian Novator 3M-54E Klub S Supersonic Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles.
WELL this will make the life of US and Taiwanese and Indian warship difficult.
ReplyDeleteKeeping them away
safeguarding Chinese interests
3M-54E ( SS-N-27B) anti-shipping Klub missile will out class American AGM84 Harpoon and Indian Brahmos.
ReplyDeleteand as they are launched by subs they are difficult to counter untill its too late
not to mention the fact that Chinese are most likely to comeup with their own version of 3M-54E sooner or later
3M-54E offer best of both supersonic and subsonic antiship missiles making it unmachable weapon
ReplyDeleteinteresting... but who is launcher? (what kind of ships or subs?)
ReplyDeleteChina operated improved kilo class subs
ReplyDeletePeople are forgetting that Indian Navy has same set of missiles which can be fired from their Kilo subs as well.
ReplyDeleteIt is unlikely China will build a similar missile since they already have ones that outperform it, such as the YJ-62, CM-602G, YJ-83, YJ-12.
