Design
The YJ-19 is a hypersonic[4][5] anti-ship cruise missile with an air-breathing scramjet engine, capable of providing sustained hypersonic flight and altering course mid-flight.[6][7][8] The ventral air-intake can feed air into the engine, capable of powering sustained hypersonic flight at Mach 10 or higher.[9] The missile can be fired from submarines, including from 533mm torpedo tubes.[10][11]
