Zitat:Algeria strengthens coastal defence with deadly YJ-12B anti-ship cruise missile
By Kazim Abdul 2 years Ago
The Algerian military is putting in measures to protect the Mediterranean Sea area as well as the Strait of Gibraltar by deploying newly acquired Chinese-made YJ-12B anti-ship cruise missiles.
The YJ-12 is a recent addition to Algeria’s portfolio of anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCM), and was acquired to replace the aging Soviet-built SSC-3 Styx P-15 anti-ship missile.
The YJ-12B ASCM will complement another deadly Chinese-made cruise missile in Algerian service, the mach 3 capable CX-1 ASCM acquired in 2018 after more than a decade of negotiations.
Sehr interessant in dem Zusammenhang, Algerian hat YJ-12 Ramjet AShM erhalten. Die Flugkörper haben eine Reichweite von 400 km und können bis in die Straße von Gibraltar hinein wirken.
