Pakistan Army Officially Inducted LY-80 MR-SAM System

No. not even against Brahmos a super sonic cruise missile and in the future will go hypersonic

HQ9b has KKV warhead, you are done.

Sooner or later, we will integrate S400 tech into HQ9 series development. The hybrid will be a monster. Have you ever heard of HQ26 anti-satellite SAM?
 
The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has developed a new variant of its HQ-16 (Red Flag-16) self-propelled medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM), according to imagery released by Chinese state television in early September.
The new variant (referred to by some as the HQ-16B) appears to have an improved rocket motor and revised wings, which sources say increase the missile's range to 70 km, up from the 40 km credited to the HQ-16, in service with the air defence units of the People's Liberation Army Ground Force (PLAGF).

In late September/early October 2011 official Chinese media reported that co-development between Russia and China of the HQ-16 had been completed and that the missile had reached operational capability within the Chinese army. It is understood that development within China commenced as early as 2005.

The HQ-16 SAM is similar to the 9M38E series of export missiles that form part of the Russian Almaz-Antey Shtil systems China purchased for use on its Sovremenny-class (Project 956E/956EM) and Type 052B destroyers.

But the HQ-16 would also seem to have some aspects of the vertically launched 9M317M, never supplied to China as far as can be ascertained. In its naval guise, the HQ-16 is known as the HHQ-16 (Red Sea-16). The HQ-16 is also referred to as the HQ-16A.

Almaz-Antey reportedly provided missile technology to aid China's development of the HQ-16, as it did with the HQ-9 SAM system, which is analogous to Almaz-Antey's S-300 SAM.

The HQ-16 has reportedly been delivered to the Shenyang Military Region.

Instead of relying on one country 100% Pakistan should also make defence venture with others such as becoming part of Turkish long range SAM program.

You can see HQ16B has different wing outfit compared with HQ16A.

Meh. Not interested in your fanboyism revolving around Bra-hmos.

O.K don't care and I rue the day when anyone thinks i am a fanboy

I stand by my words. It can theoretically be used against both CM and BM. You can keep gloating about Brahmos.
 
According to my judgment Per picture I search, Pakistan induct the HQ16A not HQ16b.

The launch canister of HQ16b is nearly one meter longer than The canister hold HQ16A.

And the HQ16b only has three canisters and HQ16A has six canisters.

I'm not 100% sure but it seems like so.

It doesn't matter, PAF can update it to B version anytime they want.

Congratulations and a long due though finally done. Tier by tier protection is highly needed and let's hope for HQ-9B (modified version) as next step.
 
We need to go for HQ-9 and also should induct PANTSIR S2 and BUK M3

A very good system to protect armored division from Gunship helicopters...
For that we need system which can move with attack formations like Pantsir S2

In my opinion ... this system can take daown brahmos...

Brahmos only relies on speed and has no stealth....i think it shud be achieveable

It is meant for Brahmos . The speed of BrahMos is Mach 2.8 and system can target to Mach 3.5
 
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.
Never re invent nthe wheel son
