Actually, it looks like an amalgam of both, in terms of configuration AND size. While it's much larger than the Kh-31 it also isn't quite as huge as the Kh-41, and while the location of the fins matches the latter, their planform is more like the former.sferrin said:
No, looks like the trailing edge area has been painted black on the real missile.Firefly 2 said:

Here's supposedly a test of the YJ-18. Quite interesting to see it doing anti-intercept maneuvering before it hits the target. ???

Wow, must be serious lateral 'g' in that manoeuvre if the Mach 3 terminal velocity is correct.
Another challenge at that speed is fusing and detonating the warhead when passage through the beam of a destroyer will take 0.06 seconds...

Maneuver: don't dismiss the possibility of a fudged video sequence.
This does not at all look like an M3 terminal attack : I'd say this is a subsonic missile.
The missile fired at the beginning looks an awful lot like an Exocet (aspect ratio and wing arrangement).
Maybe you meant YJ-81 (quite similar to Exocet)??

Not at all. What little I can find would indicate the YJ-18 is an SS-N-27/Sizzler/3M-54 Klub in Chinese colors. When looking for "YJ-18" that CM-400AKG also came up so I thought I'd put it up here. No clue what it is or what it's for. Was hoping somebody could shed some light.

It is an air-launched conventional SRBM. The conventional Kh-15 or the mooted air-launched ATACMs would probably be the closest equivalents.
Seems to be derived from the SY-400 SRBM, an earlier product from the same manufacturer which was not adopted by the PLA.
Association with PLA cruise missiles is limited to "carrier killer" hyperbole.

....
First sighting of this missile under a PAF JF-17 ... even if most likely only a mock-up or captive test an impressive weapon.
By the way the design of the fins has been changed.

Seems as if the new YJ-12 is not as huge as expected at first ... Just take a look at a YJ-83K under a H-6G and a YJ-12 under the same bomber at roughly the same size it is larger by a factor of 1.46. Given a length of the air-lunched YJ-83K of 5.14 m I come to an estimated length of about 7.52 m !
