An Internet source photo was released in 2005 showing the test launch of what is believed to be the latest YJ-62 anti-ship cruise missile.
一张英特网源相片在2005年展示测试发射，相信是最新的YJ-62反舰巡航导弹。

The YingJi-62 (YJ-62) is a long-range subsonic anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) developed by China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy (CHETA, also known as 3rd Aerospace Academy). The missile was first spotted onboard the Type 052C (Lanzhou class) destroyers commissioned in 2004. The 280km-range missile may also form the basis for a longer-range land attack cruise missile (LACM) family for the PLA.
“鹰击”（YingJi）-62（YJ-62）是一种由中国“海鹰”（Haiying）机电技术研究院（CHETA，也即是第三航空宇宙学院）发展的远程亚音速反舰巡航导弹（ASCM）。导弹在舰载上被首次看到是在2004年服役的052C型（“兰州”（Lanzhou）级）驱逐舰上配备。280公里射程的导弹也可能形成PLA一种较远射程的对陆攻击巡航导弹（LACM）系列产品的基础。

A new type of cylinder-shape anti-ship missile launchers was first spotted onboard the PLA Navy’s Type 052C (Lanzhou class) destroyer in early 2004.
在2004年早期，一种新类型的圆筒-形反舰导弹发射装置在舰载上被首次在PLA海军052C型（“兰州”（Lanzhou）级）驱逐舰上看到。

A new type of anti-ship missile launchers was first spotted onboard the PLA Navy’s Type 052C (Lanzhou class) destroyer in early 2004. Unlike the PLA Navy’s existing YJ-8 series anti-ship missiles, which are launched from a box-shape launcher, the new missile employs a cylinder-shape launcher similar to those found on the U.S. Harpoon and French Exocet missile systems. An Internet source photo published later suggested that the new missile was the PLA Navy’s latest YJ-62 long-range ASCM, which features a maximum range of 280km and INS/GPS + active radar guidance.
在2004年早期，一种新类型的反舰导弹发射装置在舰载上被首次在PLA海军的052C型（“兰州”（Lanzhou）级）驱逐舰上看到。不像PLA海军已有的YJ-8系列反舰导弹从一个箱体形发射装置发射，新的导弹采用在美国鱼叉和法国飞鱼（Exocet）导弹系统上看到类似的圆筒-形发射装置。最近的一张在英特网来源的图片，新的导弹是PLA海军最新的YJ-62远程ASCM，以最大射程280公里为特点和采用惯性导航（INS）/全球定位系统（GPS）+主动雷达制导。

Despite carrying the development variant designation of the YingJi-6 (YJ-6, also known as C-601 in its export name, NATO codename: CAS-1 Kraken) anti-ship missile family, which was developed from the 1950s-era Soviet SS-N-2 Styx missile, the new YJ-62 missile bears little resemblance to the YJ-6. The missile body of the YJ-62 appears to be much slimmer and lighter, and clearly a far more modern design than the YJ-6.
尽管发展了命名为“鹰击”（YingJi）-6（YJ-6，也即是它的出口命名C-601，北约代号“CAS-1“巨妖”（Kraken））反舰导弹系列产品，从1950年苏联SS-N-2“冥河”导弹发展，新的YJ-62导弹具有YJ-6不多的相似处。YJ-62的弹体似乎更细和更轻，和清楚地一个远比YJ-6现代化的设计。

China National Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation (CPMIEC), a window company for the Chinese defence industry, published some details on the new YJ-62 anti-ship missile during the Defence Systems & Equipment International (DSEI) land and naval systems exhibition held in London during 13~16 September 2005. CPMIEC claimed that the YJ-62 is fitted with a frequency agile radar seeker, giving the missile much greater resistance to jamming compared to the mono-pulse radar seekers fitted on previous Chinese indigenous anti-ship missiles.
中国精密机械进出公司（CPMIEC），一家中国防卫工业窗囗公司，在2005年9月13日-16日期间，伦敦国际防卫系统&设备（DSEI）陆地和海洋设备展览会上公布一些关于新的YJ-62反舰导弹的详细资料。CPMIEC宣称YJ-62配备有一个频率捷变雷达导引头，与安装在以前中国自行生产的反舰导弹上的单脉冲雷达导引头相比提供导弹更好的抗干扰能力。

The YJ-62 ASCM outperforms most Western and Russian anti-ship missiles in terms of range and warhead mass, thought it is not clear whether the missile possesses the same accuracy and anti-jamming capability. Nevertheless, it demonstrates China’s capability to design and develop a world-class advanced anti-ship missile. As well as being able to attack surface ships, the YJ-62 fitted with an alternative guidance system may also be capable of attacking land targets, giving its carrier ship the long-range, stand-off precision strike capability.
YJ-62 ASCM在射程和弹头重量上优于大量的西方和俄国反舰导弹，但不清楚是否导弹拥有相同的精度和抗干扰能力。然而，它证明中国有能力设计和发展世界级先进的反舰导弹。除了能够攻击水面舰艇，YJ-62也配备有一个选择性的制导系统，可能能够攻击陆地目标，赋与舰艇远程、投射精确打击能力。

MISSILE
导弹

The YJ-62 is a conventional cruise missile design, with mid-body wings which deploy following launch. The engine inlet is mounted slightly forward of the cruciform tail fins. The missile is 6.1m long, without the 0.9m launch booster, and weights 1,140kg. The solid propellant booster weighs an additional 210kg. The missile is powered by a small turbojet or turbofan engine. 
YJ-62是一种传统的巡航导弹设计，弹体中部的弹翼在发射后展开。发动机进气口稍微在十字形尾翼前面。导弹长度6.1米，不包括0.9米发射助推器，重量1,140公斤。固体推进剂助推器额外重量210公斤。导弹采用一台小型涡轮喷气发动机或涡扇发动机提供动力。

It is claimed that the YJ-62 uses strap-down inertial guidance coupled with GPS, and active radar for the terminal phase. The missile has a stated range of 280km, with the missile flying at an altitude of 30m during the cruise phase of an engagement. In the terminal phase, the missile descends 7~10m. The active radar seeker has an acquisition range of up to 40km.
一般称YJ-62采用惯性制导外加全球定位系统和用于末段阶段的主动雷达。导弹有效射程280公里，在交战巡航阶段期间导弹在30米高度飞行。在末段阶段，导弹降低到7~10米。主动雷达导引头捕获距离达到40公里。
