The YJ-62 () is a Chinese subsonic land-attack and anti-ship cruise missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy.

Description

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/YJ-62A_Ground-to-Ship_Missile_20170919.jpg" caption="YJ-62A on a [[TA580/TAS5380]]"] ::

In a September 2014 article published in Joint Forces Quarterly, the YJ-62 is credited with a 210 kg warhead, a speed of 0.6-0.8 Mach, and a sea-skimming terminal attack height of 7–10 m; The missile has an inertial guidance system using GPS and BeiDou data, and an active terminal sensor. A 2017 China Maritime Studies Institute (CSMI) report credits the active radar seeker with an acquisition range of 22 nmi.

In 2015, the United States Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence considered the YJ-62 to have longer range than the 150 nmi of the C-602 export version, Figures of at least 400 km have been given. The 2017 CSMI report notes that such long range suggests that the missile receives targeting from other platforms. YJ-62A is credited with a range of up to 400 km.

C-602

The C-602 is the export version of the YJ-62, claimed to have a range of 280 km, a 300 kg semi-armour-piercing warhead, and GPS guidance. The reduced range is in accordance with Missile Technology Control Regime restrictions.

The C-602 was revealed in September 2005, and displayed outside of China for the first time at the African Aerospace and Defence exhibition in 2006.

CM-602G

The CM-602G is a land-attack version of the C-602. It is advertised as having a range of 290 km, a 480 kg penetrating blast/fragmentation warhead, and an inertial guidance system using GPS data which may be augmented to provide man-in-the-loop control.

The missile was revealed at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2012.
