Chinese Missiles News & Discussions

Able to hit U-2 is not sometime new. Demonstrated in the 60s already with HQ-2 missile. I dont know what is the fuss that this news agency need to mention it.
HQ-2 is a re-badged S75 (SA-2)... This might be your own development this time around.
 
.
Even by those stats, it is a kill efficiency of less than 5%.
Wrong again. Trying to play number games? Not all flights were in areas covered by SA-2 or HQ-2. In 1960s China only had so many SA-2 battalion deployed, and most of them were around Beijing.

There was no way China could deployed SA-2 to covered every militarily/ strategic base/ ports/cities 50 years ago. U2 could only be shot down by SA-2 during that time, other missiles and jet fighters protecting these areas could not fly as high as U2.

The results of downing 5 U2 were fruits of good intellgent work of finding the flight path and flight time of U2 as well as their intended target area.

The air defense system HQ-64
The air defense system HQ-64 ( export name LY-60) is a direct clone of the Italian Selenia (Alenia) Aspide Mk.1, itself derived from the RIM-7E Sea Sparrow.

This missile is frequently cited as the direct replacement for the conceptually similar but much bulkier HQ-61. Recent literature shows a four round LY-60 TEL which is based on the naval box launcher mount, similar to the US Sea Sparrow and original Aspide designs.

Like the Aspide / Sparrow, the LY-60 appears in naval and mobile point defence SAM configurations, and as an AAM for fighter aircraft, designated as the FD-60 or PL-10.

A question to anyone who know it.
Is this HQ-6-4 or HQ 64? It is an upgrade for old HQ-6 or is this a brand new AAM HQ-64? Which is newer? This system or the HQ-9?
Thanks
