Rather interesting choices , should have included the FK1000 as well since that would have given the PA more flexibility since the FK1000 & FK2000 use same turret albeit with different type of guns ,
Also is the tracked Korkut that was tested part of a different program or this one.

HQ 9/P has already been inducted in Air defence few days earlier.

A good option also to look at would be the HQ 17 E a true shoot and scoot AD weapon for armoured thrust with 360-degree area coverage and a range of 25km plus good altitude ceiling engagement.

So did the guy retire right after announcing the induction of the HQ-9/P? Talk about a 'mic drop' moment.

Ok lmao none of these cover images for both these videos resemble the newer HQ9BE launcher ....
Perhaps leave the channel empty for updates on pakistani air defence equipment rather than posting HQ9 discussion vids , and even if you are interested in HQ9 so much than the most info on HQ9 is in this infographic below and not in vids

Is HQ-17AE for a different role than these? Are we interested in that? Thanks.

I think PA wants anti PGM capabilities as well and while HQ17 may be able to engage them with missiles but PAAD can't afford to shoot down every incoming missile with another A2A missile,for that 25-30mm MG would be better(economical as well as being less prone to saturation).

 

[khanasifm]

Bottomline even B version has active seeker ie leading more capability for saturated attacks vs semi active seeker and stronger anti jamming which is important than range

FM-90s are reserved for wartime with the exception being some batteries used for Air Def of PAA Airfields ,
