New Video Emerges Of A Chinese Xi’an H-6N Strategic Bomber Carrying A Massive Air-Launched Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile

Warzone/The Drive: This Is Our Best Look Yet At China’s Air-Launched ‘Carrier Killer’ Missile  

China’s mysterious air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile just made its latest appearance.  

A new video has appeared providing us with an unprecedented view of a Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Xian H-6N bomber carrying an air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile, or ASBM, a highly intriguing weapon that we have looked at in detail on more than one occasion in the past. Known also by the Western designation CH-AS-X-13, this missile remains in many ways mysterious, so any chance to get a better look at it is welcome indeed. 

The video, and stills from it, began to circulate on social media today, with the original footage posted to Twitter by a user, apparently based in China, with the handle @lqy99021608. No further details about where or when the video was taken are available, but the huge missile on the centerline of the H-6N certainly appears to be related to the YJ-21, or Eagle Strike 21, a weapon that is itself thought to be a ship-launched version of the ground-based DF-21D (CSS-5 Mod 5), another anti-ship ballistic missile that reportedly became operational in 2010.
