OVERVIEW:  The C-701 aka YJ-7 aka Kosar battalion is short range, mobile, surface-to-surface missile unit intended for use against small to medium sized surface naval targets.  

DETAILS:  After launch, the missile is initially guided by inertial navigation system, switching to EO guidance during the terminal phase.  The C-701 uses a radar altimeter to cruise at 500 meters (est), transitioning to a dive onto the target during the terminal phase. The operator in the controlling platform uses a datalink to receive the transmitted TV image and designate the target and precise aim point.
