It travels at Mach-3 has a 85% single shot kill probability against aircraft and 60% against cruise missiles, now if it was launched in salvos....it's an over kill.

 

[Dazzler]

it has PA specific improvements in some areas like engagement modes, rocket motor, engagement altitude and range. That's why the induction process to so long. Call it the first of improved export versions.

How effective it will be against Brahmos as India will use it as primary standoff weapon?

I think PA has created a layered air defence which they think can handle what India can throw at them.

HQ16b had finished its test at the end of year 2012. The news of successful test was immediately informed to Pakistan side back then. Why would Pakistan choose to wait until now to induct it? You understand? Must be the new version. They are waiting for the new version.

HQ16b can be field against cruise missile and ballistic missile.

Obviously all the details wouldn't be made public, surprise the enemy when the need arises.

It will be good if you can get confirmation from some Chinese source.

If true awesome news, share specs of HQ-16B.

HQ16b can be field against cruise missile and ballistic missile.

How high it can hit? Can it handle supersonic missile threats? If compared to Buk-M3 where it stands?

Good to see we are serious in defense matter but I am not impressed we should build our own state of the art system it is just a copy of old Russian BUK missile system.

Buk is different system then LY-80, later is VLS which earlier is not.
