HQ-9 Defense System

The HQ-9 is China’s new generation medium- to long-range, active radar homing surface-to-air missile. Similar to the Russian S-300 and American Patriot systems, the HQ-9 uses a HT-233 PESA radar system. The naval variant, HHQ-9, appears to be identical to the land-based variant. HHQ-9 is equipped in the PLAN Type 052C Lanzhou class destroyer in VLS launch tubes.
