Unlike most cruise missiles in the world, nearly all flight phases of the CJ-100 are at supersonic speed. [8] On Zhuhai Airshow 2024, the missile was displayed by its manufacturer, with specifications claiming a cruise speed of Mach 4 and a range between 3,000–4,000 km (1,900–2,500 mi; 1,600–2,200 nmi).
According to the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, it is an anti-ship and land-attack missile with a 280 km (170 mi; 150 nmi) range, a 250 kg (550 lb) warhead, and launched from air, land, and naval platforms The missile uses BeiDou satellite navigation, with active radar terminal guidance; the target may be updated by data-link.
According to Janes Information Services, Ta Kung Pao, and International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the missile is speculated to have a weight around 1,000 kg (2,200 lb), a length of 4 m (13 ft), a height of 490 mm (19 in), a width of 750 mm (30 in), a range of 500–1,000 km (270–540 nmi), and a warhead payload of 500 kg (1,100 lb).

A cruise missile is an unmanned self-propelled guided missile that sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large payload over long distances with high precision.
The missile can be launched from vertical launching systems, [6] and possibly from submarine torpedo tubes. [3] Chinese media claims the missile has an inertial guidance system using BeiDou Navigation Satellite System data, and carries a 300 kg (660 lb) high-explosive warhead with an anti-radiation seeker.
The CX-1 is a supersonic anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) that can travel up to Mach 2.8-3 at an altitude of 17,000 m (56,000 ft). It travels along a low-high-low flight profile and has a range of 40–280 km (25–174 mi; 22–151 nmi) using a two-stage booster, descending to 10 meters above the water when 10 km (6.2 mi; 5.4 nmi) from the target.
The YJ-82 was developed by placing the missile inside a buoyant launch capsule; the capsule technology was acquired from Pakistan. [2] The YJ-82 was first test fired from a Type 039 submarine in 1997; initial tests did not go well. The first photographs of the missile appeared at the 2004 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. [2]
