Yu-8 is a rocket boosted torpedo that can be launched by the vertical 
launch system (VLS) in Type 052 destroyers or on-deck launchers on other
 warships.<br />
The VLS can launch both Yu-8 and HQ-16 air defense missiles 
while the launchers can launch both Yu-8 and YJ-83 anti-ship missiles. In
 fact, Yu-8 also has anti-ship capabilities.<br />
<br />
As Yu-8 flies quickly in the air before it goes into water to hit its 
target submarine, it can hit a target further away and quicker than 
ordinary submerged torpedoes.<br />
<br />
As it has similar capabilities to those of Russian SS-N-12 missiles, 
China has caught up with major world naval powers in anti-submarine 
capabilities when it has successfully developed its Yu-8 missile.<br />
Some 
commentators believe that China has surpassed Japan in anti-submarine 
capabilities due to its successful deployment of Yu-8<br />
<i><span class="skimlinks-unlinked">People.com.cn</span></i> says in its 
report on May 13 that according to Taiwan media, Chinese navy 
successfully tested Yu-8 anti-submarine missile during its major drill in
 July, 2015.<br />
