The YJ-83 (Template:Zh; NATO reporting name: CSS-N-8 Saccade) is a Chinese subsonic anti-ship cruise missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

Development

The YJ-83 uses microprocessors and a strap-down inertial reference unit (IRU); these are more compact than the equivalent electronics used in the YJ-8 and the export C-802, allowing the YJ-83 to have a 180-km range at Mach 0.9. The missile is powered by the Chinese CTJ-2 turbojet and is fitted with a 190-kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead. Terminal guidance is by an active radar.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

The air-launched YJ-83K has a range of Template:Cvt, a cruise speed of Mach 0.9, and a Template:Cvt high-explosive, semi-armour piercing warhead. The improved YJ-83KH uses a imaging-infrared seeker and has a range of 230 km;[1] reportedly it may receive course corrections by remote link.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

The YJ-83 entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy in 1998 and 1999,Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". equipping large numbers of its surface warships.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The YJ-83K is the standard anti-ship missile carried by the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force;[1] the United States reported the usage in 2014.[2] The People's Liberation Army Air Force was using the YJ-83K by February 2020.[1]

The C-802 precedes the closely related YJ-83.[3] It is powered by the French TRI 60-2 turbojetScript error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". and has a range of Script error: No such module "convert".. The C-802 is considered a part of the YJ-83 family by the US military.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The C-802 was likely an export-only design. From the 1990s, it was erroneously reported that it was used by China as the "YJ-2". It is not an export version of the YJ-82; the two are separate developments.[4]

The C-802A[3] and C-802AK are the export surface- and air-launched variants.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

Western reporting has erroneously attributed the "C-803" designation to the YJ-83. The "C-803" designation was not used in Chinese promotional information through 2012.[3]

Operational history

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". On 14 July 2006, during the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah fired two Chinese-built C-802 missiles with upgraded Iranian radar seekers. The first hit a Cambodian-flagged Egyptian freighter 60 km offshore. The other hit the Israeli Navy's Sa'ar 5-class corvette INS Hanit, which was patrolling 8.5 nm offshore of Beirut. The missile hit the corvette's unstealthy crane near the rear helicopter pad; the explosion holed the pad, set fire to fuel storage, and killed four crewmembers. The fire was extinguished after four hours, and Hanit returned to Ashdod under its own power for three weeks of repairs. The corvette's automatic anti-missile systems were deactivated before the attack; Israel was unaware that Hezbollah had C-802s, and there were concerns over friendly fire with the Israeli Air Force.[7]

In October 2016, a cruise missile launched by Houthis in Yemen damaged HSV-2 Swift, an unarmed transport ship under the control of the United Arab Emirates (who is opposed to the Houthis in Yemen's civil war). Analysis of the damage caused by that missile led experts to believe it was a C-802, as the missile had an explosively formed penetrator (EFP) warhead.[8]
