The YJ-6 () is a series of Chinese subsonic air-launched anti-ship missile. It is manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Third Academy. The export version is called C-601 and the NATO reporting name is CH-AS-1 Kraken.
==Development== YJ-6 is China's first air-launched anti-ship missile in large-scale service. It was developed from the land-based HY-2 missile with a more compact airframe for aircraft carriage and a newer active-radar seeker. The missile used liquid fuel and a large warhead inherited from HY-2. It entered service in 1986.
