Turkey soon to decide who wins the multibillion dollar contract.

For the first part, it really does have its own radar. Each unit is indepentend.

The Chinese funded S-400, and every1 in Chinese defence fourm knows it. Just like Indian are funding PAK-FA. However as for S-400, the Chinese did not disclose the information, that's all. However, HQ-9B's missile shared same TVC nozzle as S-400's. This proves that!

Again no it doesn't look at the picture. The only S-300 variant that had anything mounted on the carrier vehicle besides the missile tubes was the S-300V/M which had a illuminator for continuous wave illumination of the target. The radars (there are multiple for acquiring and engaging) are set up on different vehicles and it all comes together in a system. No single carrier has everything it needs to fully operate.

HQ-9B like you claim having the same TVC nozzle as the S-400 would probably mean china is expanding Russian technology into other products. This obviously wouldn't be the first or last time this happened consider most of china's equipment is reverse engineered Russian technology.

If Turkey wants a SAM that can truely intercept Ballistic missile then the HQ-9A and S-300V is the best option.

Best option for intercepting ballistic missiles is PAC-3:

It is certainly a option especially since it is compatible with NATO CC. However we must take into account that very little to no TOT will be in this deal. It almost seems at this point everything we are acquiring must have some level of Turkish involvement. Even our 737 Awacs aircraft from the U.S. had Havelsan integrating its own software as a subcontractor.

Actually few are even reversed from Russia. The only thing you can say is SU-27

1. In Chinese army there currently no such thing going on

2. In the NAVY none, the varyag, you can not call reverse engineering.


The deal of S-400 between CHina and russia is a half and half project, both contribuited tech and money.

Best of wishes to all companies but especially the HQ-9!!! This is our chance to shine.

Question.

How is Turkey's SAM deal going?

Has Turkey decided the winner yet?

i would definitly go for the S400 its without any doubt the most advanced among the other ones.
