Aviation Porn. FC-1 prototype with two CM-400AKG standoff supersonic AShMs

Forget the platform and focus in on the payload!  This airplane is carrying two CM-400AKG standoff supersonic anti-ship missiles.  It's the export version of the Chinese YJ-12.  Check out the Wikipedia entry on it....

The CM-400AKG is an air-launched supersonic surface attack cruise missile, believed to be the export version of the YJ-12.[19] The 910 kg (2,000 lb) missile is 0.4 m (1.3 ft) in diameter and has a range of between 54–130 nmi (62–150 mi; 100–241 km) while carrying either a 150 kg (330 lb) blast or 200 kg (440 lb) penetration warhead. It has three guidance options, including inertial navigation system (INS) coupled with satellite positioning to get within 50 m, an onboard IR/TV seeker for terminal guidance and 5 m accuracy, and passive radar to supplement the seeker, which delivers (strangely worse) 5–10 m accuracy. One unusual characteristic is that it does not fly at low altitude to avoid detection, but rather uses “high altitude launching” to achieve “higher aircraft survivability.”[20] It may have a top speed of Mach 5.[21]

In the modern age the old adage of "killing the archer before he can launch his arrow" is definitely back in vogue.

Why we aren't embarking on a crack program to develop long range anti-air missiles is beyond me but even the best in class (in the West), the Meteor, isn't sufficient.

200 miles range should be threshold and 300 miles objective.  We need longer range missiles NOW!
