  2. 3M-54E ( SS-N-27B) anti-shipping Klub missile will out class American AGM84 Harpoon and Indian Brahmos.

    and as they are launched by subs they are difficult to counter untill its too late

    not to mention the fact that Chinese are most likely to comeup with their own version of 3M-54E sooner or later

  7. It is unlikely China will build a similar missile since they already have ones that outperform it, such as the YJ-62, CM-602G, YJ-83, YJ-12.
