I think let that be kept secret. the better question would be are there are enough HQ-9 and HQ-16? we should also keep reserve stock of these incase any of that got hit in a war

Do we have enough? No, did any get hit, also No, also you don't keep air defence batteries in reserve that would be pretty stupid.

Apology for my limited knowledge. I guess than you know more than me (especially on the reserve part. maybe there will be some technical reason behind this which i really dont know like zangg lag jaata hoga?).

So apparantely it looks you know more so i take my words back
 
As there are chat going on about fake news of j35 induction, what the reality of HQ 19 induction?

Unlikely - at least for the near-medium future. PA and PAF both need new SHORADs and a good deal more LOMADs and HIMARs to cover the Gaps seen in the recent strikes.

Getting a new system (new type) takes a lot of time in training and induction. If HQ9 and HQ16 performed well (which it seems HQ9 did), it would be smart to increase the numbers of both in the short term and then seeking a better system to top it off.

Based on information publicly available on the Chinese Internet. You have 4 sets of HQ-9 and 2 sets of HQ-9BE, each equipped with 16 interceptor missiles, totaling 96; you have 6 sets of HQ-16, each equipped with 24 interceptor missiles, totaling 144.

This news is not fake air chief said openly that we will induct J35 soon, major controversy about timeline of induction some members says Dec 2026 some has more bizarre timeline saying that induction would be in August 2025, but most members agrees that j35 could be induct in 2028-2030 time-frame if not 2030-2032 time-frame

And as HQ-19 China is offering it to Pakistan its up to Pakistan government/dod to decide to purchase HQ-19

this news some members portrayed that Pakistan is getting HQ-19 which is not true
