WING HAS BEEN LENGTHENED THE OTHER
ADDED,LENGTH IS FORWARD OF THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WING. THE
MISSILE CONTROL SURFACES ARE DIMENSIONALLY THE SAME AS THE

MISSILE COASTAL DEFENSE SITES. THE ADDED LENGTH WILL MAKE
THIS MISSILE UNSUITABLE FOR SHIPBORNE USE DUE TO LAUNCHER

OPERATIONAL WITH BOTH COASTAL DEFENSE'SITES AND THE CHINESE
