You guys are really delusional aren't Ya ? Chinese are children in this game ? HahahahAbsolutely! Chinese are children in this game. They know nothing of value. Ever wonder why no one wants their weapons and most of their purchase come from Pakistan and from small and worthless countries with no option to buy anything else?
1. China acquired the S-300PMU1 and S-300PMU2 systems, later licensed produced them as the HQ-15 and HQ-18 respectively. Despite having access to both systems, China prioritized the enhancement of their HQ-9A system over the HQ-15 and HQ-18. Infact, even PLAN's type 51 destroyes had their s-300F replaced with HQ-9s. What does that tell you?
2. In September 2013, during Turkey's T-LORAMIDS program, the HQ-9 emerged as a top contender outperforming other systems such as Patriot PAC 3s, Isreal's ARROW AND S-300PMU2s in trails. It was only after U.S response of withholding funds for integrating the Chinese system into NATO defenses that led to the deal bieng cancelled. They later went for the s-400 which was also for political reasons
3. China procured S-400s in 2018. Yet, don't anticipate further orders, as they leveraged its technology to advance systems like the HQ-9C and HQ-19 instead. Type-55s , Type 52 all use HQ-9s.
4. Morocco opted for HQ-9B , a country that ususally has buys and has acess to military equipement from the West.
5. About not having options? Pakistan is purchasing CAMM-ER which is developed by MBDA UK.
The fact is the China has surpased Russia in almost all military technologies barring maybe Nuclear submarines. Why doesnt China use R-77?
