The YJ-15 is likely to be integrated with the PLA Navy Air Force's J-15T fighter aircraft.

Mentioned as: U.S. NavyNarrative GeneralSep 4, 2025RT by @luritie: 🇨🇳 The ramjet-powered YJ-15 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile mockups that were displayed at the recent military parade in Beijing feature suspension lugs, which is to say that these were meant to represent air-launched anti-ship cruise missiles. The YJ-15 is likely to be integrated with the PLA Navy Air Force's (PLANAF) carrier-borne catapult-assisted take-off barrier arrested recovery (CATOBAR) J-15T fighter aircraft, the PLA Air Force's J-16 fighter aircraft, and perhaps the PLAAF's H-6K/H-6J/H-6N bomber aircraft. The PLAAF, which currently holds a near monopoly over air-launched anti-ship munitions in the People's Liberation Army (PLA), received the bulk of the PLANAF's land-based fixed-wing crewed combat aircraft in 2023. This includes the PLANAF's H-6G/H-6L and H-6J bombers, which were optimized for maritime strike, unlike the PLAAF's H-6 bomber variants, which were until ca. 2020 primarily used to employ stand-off land-attack munitions. While all of the PLAAF's H-6K, (ex-PLANAF) H-6J—and seemingly the closely related and reportedly nuclear-armed H-6N—bombers as well as the older (ex-PLANAF) H-6G/H-6L are capable of launching the preceding ramjet-powered YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, which was unveiled at the 2015 iteration of the recent military parade, all of the aforementioned versions of the H-6 bomber design other than the older (ex-PLANAF) H-6G/H-6L appear to be limited to carrying no more than 4x YJ-12 air-launched anti-ship cruise missiles per sortie. This is despite each of these aircraft having a total of six wing-mounted weapons stations that can be used to carry and launch the likes of the long-range KD-20 (subsonic) air-launched land-attack cruise missile. The new YJ-15 appears to be considerably smaller and lighter than the preceding YJ-12. Should it be integrated onto the PLAAF's H-6K/H-6J/H-6N bombers—likely alongside the PLAAF's J-16 fighters (and perhaps other aircraft) and the PLANAF's carrier-borne CATOBAR J-15T fighters—the deployment of the YJ-15 will likely substantially enhance the maritime strike capabilities of the PLAAF's sizeable bomber force. https://x.com/shahpas/status/1958220105768153250
