YJ-82 / Yingzhe-82 / Eagle Strike 82
The Eagle Strike 82 anti-ship missile is developed on the basis of the Eagle Strike 8 with increased range. The Eagle Strike 82 is very similar in appearance to the Eagle Strike-8, and it has the same solid rocket booster and guidance system. The biggest difference is that the Eagle Strike-82 uses a turbojet engine to replace the original Eagle Strike-8 solid rocket motor. The missile body has also been lengthened to accommodate more fuel. The Eagle Strike 8, Eagle Strike 81 , and Eagle Strike 82 of the Eagle Strike missile family are all subsonic anti-ship missiles. The export version of the Eagle-82 is called the C-802A anti-ship missile.
The C802 anti-ship missile weapon system is a shore-to-ship mobile missile weapon system developed by China. It is an improved model of the C801 missile weapon system. It is very similar to the C801 but has an increased length. The performance of its radio altimeter is more complete. The power and maneuverability of the vehicle have been improved. C802 is a medium- and long-range all-weather multi-purpose anti-ship missile weapon system, which can carry out ship-borne, shore-based and airborne launch and sea-skimming flight. The flying height of the cruise section is 20-30 meters, and the flying height when approaching the target is 5- 7 meters.
The C802 anti-ship missile weapon system was developed by the China Sea Eagle Mechanical and Electrical Technology Research Institute, also known as the Eagle Strike-2. It is an improved model of the C801 missile, but the length is increased, and the C801 solid rocket cruise engine is replaced with a turbojet engine , The performance of its radio altimeter is more complete, and the power, maneuverability, and range of the warhead have been improved. C802 missiles have shore-to-ship, ship-to-ship and air-to-ship types. C802 is not only equipped with Chinese navy and air force, but also exported to Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia and other places.
The Eagle Strike 83 anti-ship cruise missile is called the C-803 anti-ship missile by Western countries. It is said to be one of the "Eagle Strike" series of anti-ship missiles developed by the Chinese Navy. It is a low supersonic sweep Sea anti-ship missiles are called "Sea Butchers."
In the 1990s, the "Xiongfeng" 2 and "Xiongfeng" 3 anti-ship missiles were developed using American technology against the other side of the strait. The former used a low-fuel-consumption miniature worm gear jet engine and radar/infrared dual-mode guidance technology. It completely overwhelmed the Eagle Strike 8 series; the latter directly "copied" the related technology of the Alvrj (ALVRJ) early years of Maywater Aerospace Corporation (LTV), imitating the so-called "Sky" integrated rocket/ramjet engine . Based on this, the main performance of the projectile is called M2, with a range of 160 kilometers.
Although there is a certain amount of water, it is undoubtedly a problem for the Chinese military and aerospace science and industry departments that are used to claiming to be at the advanced level of the world’s anti-ship missiles. Absolutely unacceptable. So in 1992, the so-called "strength bomb" Eagle Hit 83 was quickly included in the official development plan. In October 1998, the Eagle Strike 83 achieved the indicated target of the anti-ship missile system for the first time, and achieved the result of a long-range missile directly hitting the target ship. In the process of research and integration, it achieved 6 rounds and 5 glories, and it also participated in 1999. The grand military parade on the 50th anniversary of the National Day. In the meantime, the CCTV commentator said "domestic supersonic anti-ship missiles", making the Eagle Strike 83 a star that has attracted much attention.
The Eagle-83 missile has a strong actual combat power, with a maximum range of 150 kilometers for the carrier type and 250 kilometers for the airborne type. The missile adopts the combat mode of high subsonic cruise and supersonic end-stage dive attack. The booster first accelerates the missile to high subsonic speed and then is ignited and propelled by the turbojet engine. At this time, the booster separates from the missile body. When the terminal attack procedure is activated, the secondary rocket engine is ignited, the turbojet engine is disengaged, and the missile enters a dive flight state. At this time, the missile will reach a low supersonic speed of Mach 1.3-1.5 at a distance of 20-30 kilometers from the target.
As a transitional product before the introduction of the Russian-made "Ruby" and Eagle Strike-12 A into service, the significance of the Eagle Strike 83 is that it can effectively improve the penetration capability of the Navy's anti-ship missiles in the short term. In particular , the submarine-launched type of YJ-83 will pose a considerable threat to the US aircraft carrier fleet wandering in the Taiwan Strait.
The JH-7 and H-6 can carry 4 Eagle Strike-83 under the wings, and the eagle can be launched on the destroyer 051B , 052, 052B , 051C and the frigate 054, 054A , part of the 053H 3 guided missile frigate and guided missile boat 022 Hit -83.
