China Upgrading Air Defenses At Breakneck Speed

Excerpts

China’s HQ-9 (200km) SAM systems can engage targets flying at 90,000 ft and can simultaneously destroy six airborne targets, and track up to 80 targets. Chinese HQ-9 is partially based on Russian S-300P. However, there are significant differences between the Russian and Chinese systems. The Chinese system incorporates technology from the U.S. Patriot missile defense system. Furthermore, HQ-9—unlike its American and Russian contemporaries—uses active electronically scanned array radar technology.

India’s hostile neighbour Pakistan has already started negotiations on the import of the HQ-9 missile system from China. If this deal gets finalised, it would definitely bolster Pakistan’s air defense capabilities. The fact that the HQ-9 could compete for an international missile tender against American, Russian and European systems (and win) is an indication of just how capable the Chinese weapon is.
