Chinese Missile to Pakistan Could Dent Navy’s BrahMos Advantage A game-changing Chinese anti-ship missile, capable of flying at three times the speed of sound, could erode a key missile advantage the Indian Navy has enjoyed over the Pakistani Navy since 2005.
An export variant of the YJ-12 missile, the CM-302, is likely to be the primary weapon on board four new Chinese frigates being built for the Pakistan Navy at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai.
The CM-302 matches both the supersonic speed and the range of the Indian Navy’s BrahMos anti-ship cruise missiles, which have been deployed on several front-line frigates and destroyers of the Navy.
