The C-801 and C-802 are newer technology than the Silk Worm, and are much more akin to an Exocet or Harpoon missiles. They do not have as big a warhead as the Silk Worm (which can carry up to one ton) but have a 165kg warhead, good technology (much better thant he Silk Worm) and good range.

Either way, this is clearly Chinese Technology, bought and deployed by the Iranians and is a clear indication of their involvement in the fight IMHO.

Thanks for the info. Do you think the USA is capable of taking out Iranian c802 if they are deployed on the Iranian coast. Aimed at the Straits of Hormuz to disrupt oil shipping. If and when we try to take out Iran's nuclear facilities
