At Zhuhai China Air Show 2014, (which is currently being covered by our affiliate Army Recognition) Chinese defense company China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) unveiled the new CX-1 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM). Navy Recognition is able to shed some light on this new supersonic missile that comes in two versions: The CX-1B that can be truck launched from land and the CX-1A designed to be surface launched from a vessel at sea.

According to CASC representatives at Zuhai Airshow 2014, the CX-1 supersonic cruise missile system is mainly intended for attack against ships but also has a secondary land attack capability. It can rapidly, precisely and flexibly strike the enemy's maneuvering surface targets at sea and strategic/high value targets on land (including semi-underground complexes).
