Any idea what missile this is?

Any idea what missile this is?

As indicated in subtitles it was a YJ-83 target missile for testing HQ-10 SAM intercepts. I guess for some unknown reason the rocket booster detached from the missile earlier than expected. The remaining fuel drove the rocket booster into a vertical climb and then turned horizontal randomly until all the fuel ran out. The missile was actually flying in desired direction with its turbo jet engine but looked invisible in the clip as the video's graphic resolution and contrast are too low.

Don't get confused on the ending scene in which the missile hit a ship. Someone put 2 unrelated clips together. The original video shows a HQ-10 SAM intercepted the YJ-83 successfully.

Alleged JY-83, actually what we seen is the rocket booster, the YJ-83 turbojet is harder to be seen.

Interpretation of the booster as some sort of super maneuverable missile is pretty cringe. Why would it be maneuvering right after takeoff?

Some netizen asked similar question as yours about the JY-83, which was explained that such large-angle manoeuvre right after launch is intended to avoid the launch position being tracked by radar.

Or other thought, in this demonstration flight they just showed us at the beginning what the missile could also do at the end stage of manoeuvring, employing a kind of large-angle movement, which is a nightmare for terminal defense.

Other pointed out that such manoeuvre might in particular put in test the computing power of the terminal defense system, making the missile more difficult to intercept (missile prediction calculation).
