in total, p-15 family had following models:

p-15: basic (ss-n-2a) i-band, conical search sensor , 40 km range.
p-15m: (ss-n-2c), heavier , longer p-15, had range of 80 km , several minor improvements.
p-15mc: p-15m, coupled bulgarian-made electronic countermeasure package country s navy.
p-20: p-15 updated new guidance system original shorter range. perhaps known ss-n2 b , used komar , osa class boats.
p-20k: p-15m new guidance system.
p-20m: surface version of p-20l folding wings. definitive version of p-15m radar guidance.
p-22 other development of or along p-20 ; other variants p-21, p-27

the chinese used missile basis silkworm series, ir, radar , turbojets or rocket engines depending on model. had fuselage of 75–80 cm width , mass of on 2 tonnes. comparable 600–800 kg , 35–40 cm of western missiles. improved electronics, warhead reduced 250 kg , original rocket engine replaced turbojet, weapon improved range of on 100 km. chinese silkworm missiles used in hundreds of ships , shore batteries. chinese navy built more 2 hundred modified versions of 183r (komar-class), hegu-class, (complete longer hull , additional 25mm mount aft) , osa-class. frigates , destroyers equipped missile. exported , used in shore batteries built north korea, iraq , iran. soviet union developed equivalent, p-120 malakhit.

sy-1 missile



sy-1 (c.201) (sy abbreviation of pinyin: shàng yóu, literal meaning upper river): original chinese copy of p-15 ship-to-ship missile, called project 544, designed , assembled nanchang aerocraft factory 1960, first inland test flight in december 1964 , ship-mounted test-fired in august 1965, finished research tests in june 1966, began definitizing test nov 1966, permitted definitize on august 1967. entered service during 1968 in missile boats , destroyers , later coastal batteries. dimensions were: 6.55m (length), 0.76m (diameter), 2.4m (wingspan). weighed 2,095 kg of 513 kg heat warhead. range 40 km @ mach 0.8, flight altitude of 100–300 m, used inertial , active radar guidance systems. unit employed conical scanning , vulnerable electronic counter measures (ecm), due slow onboard computer. sy-1a entered service after 1984, monopulse search radar comparable evolution of aim-7, f m model.
sy-2: improved version developed 1976. used solid rocket engine , supersonics flight, smaller , lighter sy-1, extended range 50 km. exported version fl-2.


hy-2 missile



hy-2 (c.201) (hy abbreviation of pinyin:hǎi yīng, literal meaning sea eagle): equivalent of p-15m, , known c-ss-3 saccade. designed coastal batteries, larger airframe, dimensions were: 7.48m × 0.76m × 2.4m, weight 2,998 kg. extended range 30 km of sy-1 50 km. trials carried out 1967 1970 10 missiles out of 11 hitting target. entered service in china , exported. there several versions:

hy-2: basic, inertial , conical radar search (improved sy-1), 1970.
hy-2a: ir-guidance variant. developed during 1970s , in 1980, did not enter service despite certification in 1982. equivalent of p-22.
hy-2a-ii: improved variant of hy-2a improved ir sensor, entered service in 1988. available export.
hy-2b: fitted monopulse-search radar improve accuracy , reliability, test-fired, scoring 5 hits out of 6 , entered service 2 years later in 1984. yb-2b-ii had radar search system, entering service in 1989. these 2 missiles capable of flying @ altitude of 20–50m, overall capabilities (altitude, range, reliability, electronic counter counter measures (eccm) superior.
c-201w: fitted turbojet engine instead of liquid rocket version. used export, had 150 km range. arguably called hy-4 or c-ss-n-7 sadpack, dimensions similar hy-1 , hy-2, weight 2,000 kg, demonstrating differences between turbojet , rocket propulsion systems. capable of flying @ 70m , attacking @ 8m, 300–500 kg charge. xw-41 land attack missile extrapolated design, had range of 400 km, (which enough attack taiwan). not known if model entered service.

substitutes of these missiles fl-2 , fl-7, solid-rocket fuelled , c-701 , c-801, similar exocet , other missile systems, among them ss-n-22 sunburn, bought sovremenny class destroyers.
