YJ-12 ASM
YJ-12 air-to-surface missile family is developed from YJ-12 AShM. Following the same practice of developing land attack missiles from anti-ship missiles, like KD-88 from C-802, the land attack version of YJ-12 ASM is developed from the original anti-shipping version. The land attack version includes all options of adding one-way or two way data links, or without any data link, and all seekers of anti-shipping version can be selected to equip the land attack version. In addition, just like the anti-radiation version of YJ-12, there is an extra guidance method of utilizing satellite guidance/navigation such as GPS and GLONASS, but none of the satellite navigational guided air-to-surface missiles are equipped with two way data link, bringing a total of eleven models in this family. Like the anti-ship version, many Chinese sources have claimed that despite the development of all models are completed and ready for production upon customer’s request, due to the limited funding, the only model of this missile family entered the Chinese service is the radar guided fire-and-forgot version without any data link. Since the missile has not been allowed to be exported, there is no known any export success either.
