YingJi-8K, YJ-8K (C-801, "Attacking Eagle") - anti-ship missile, air version of the on-board anti-ship missile YJ-8 (C-801) developed by China Haiying Electro-Mechanical Technology Academy (CHETA, also known as the 3rd Space Academy - 3rd Space Academy) in the early 80's of the 20th century.
History: missile was originally developed as an air anti-ship missile. Due to the delay in work on aircraft - carriers, the development was reoriented for use from the deck of surface vessels (other variants of ground launchers and submarines) and the missile was introduced into service under the designation YJ-8. After the successful implementation of these versions, the development of the aircraft version continued. A specially modified bomber H-5 "Eagle testbed aircraft" ( H) was used for testing. -5).
As a missile carrier is used fighter bomber JH-7, introduced in the naval air force ( PLANAF).
