The YJ-12B is a new China's coastal defense missile system. Its images first emerged in 2018. This system was first publicly revealed in 2019. It is in service with the China's military.

Externally this coastal defense system resembles a scaled up version of the CJ-10. It also carries 3 containers with missile, but uses a larger 10x8 chassis rather than 8x8.

The YJ-12B can be seen as a ground-launched version of the naval YJ-12 anti-ship missile, that is carried by warships. The YJ-12 is a ramjet-powered supersonic missile with radar guidance. It has an estimated range of 400-500 km and carries a 200 kg warhead. Most likely that this missile has a conventional High Explosive Fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead.

A Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) vehicle is based on a Wanshan WS2600 special wheeled chassis with 10x8 configuration. Vehicle has good cross-country mobility and can travel over difficult terrain.

It is not an alternative to Brahmos which is more of a SSM. The is an anti-ship missile and if China is selling, PN will buy for sure. It offers a large space denial capability.

Neither Pakistan or China has signed MTCR... if you look at the range of some systems that Russia has sold to India (Klub cruise missiles), it isn't really an issue..

We can rebrand it as our own

Brahmos is anti ship

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

500km is not very far out. What kind of ships are they targeting? Landing craft?

 

[Kompromat]

Good investment. This missile will put Indian Navy out of business from the entire Arabian Sea and they'd also have to vacate their bases in Gujarat.

Hence we have so many “indigenous” systems that come about.
Sure, some customization is done but that is the way us and Chinese give the MTCR the birdie.

(Just in a lighter mood)

 

[UkroTurk]

The system has 500km range. But how could it detect and engage the warship 500km away? Is there any long range naval radar?
Or it uses intelligence from marine patrols?

China is the country which has sold more than 2000 KM Range Ballistic Missiles to Saudi Arabia. Just recently have sold DF 21
