The C-101 was an early Chinese supersonic cruise missile. It has been described as unsuccessful.³⁴

The People's Liberation Army Navy designation is YJ-1 (Chinese: 鹰击-1; pinyin: yingji-1; lit. 'eagle strike 1'; NATO reporting name: CSS-X-5).⁵⁶

Design

The C-101 is launched with solid-fuel rocket boosters to a speed of Mach 1.8.⁷ Two ramjets sustain a cruise and impact speed of Mach 2.⁸ At three kilometers from the target, the missile descends from a cruise altitude of 50 meters⁹ to 5 meters.¹⁰
