yeh mate its yj-91 development, derived from kh-31
Kh-31 is air-to-surface. It is for destroying SAMs. Similar to US HARM. So YJ-91 will be in same regard.
But I wouldnt be in the least surprised if China is building an AWACS killer. They know the threat posed by enemy AWACS, especially US ones, and will want to counter it.
But like most Chinese projects, it will be under wraps until it one day rolls out.
