Yes but who is to say a 6 per bay missile capability (with smaller weapons like R-77) will not be sought down the line?

6 per bay? 😮 😮 😮

Or 6 in the 2 bays (3 + 3)….

…

Is there a connection between the SY-400 and HQ-16? The similarities in appearance and size are a bit striking.

I heard a theory that maybe the SY-400 is a land attack version of the HQ-16 not too unlike land-attack Standard missile?

the strange thing is, in this photo, the HHQ-16 appears to be hot-launched from the 891 test ship unlike the land version

This photo/Link is from from IDEF’11 Link

Unfortunately you can’t see the specs. Here is another but this is not whether the specs are from the manufacturer – Link

Thanks. Having rummaged round a bit, the longer strakes remind me a lot of the older 9M38M1 which preceeded the 9M317 as the missile for the Buk SAM system, so that might have formed the basis for these Chinese designs.

It is much closer in appearance to the 9M38 than the 9M317 – Link

There are some similarities with the RIM-66 – Link, but I’d go with the 9M38 (appearance wise)

Attachments 1, 2, 3, 4 : J-11A powered by WS-10. Could this plane be part of the early test program. One plane flew with 1 WS-10 & 1 AL-31. So, maybe they modified 1 J-11A to fly only with WS-10

Attachments 5, 6, 7 : PLAAF J-11B, J-11BS

October 15, 2011 at 8:58 am in reply to: why is the J-8 and JH-7 not an export success? #2382874

Both have been offered for export

J-8II – F-8IIM
J-8F – F-8T
JH-7 – FBC-1
JH-7A – FBC-1A

Not surprisingly no exports. These are very big, heavy twin-engined planes, not to mention obsolete design, especially the J-8. There was joke that the J-8 minimum radius turn is not much better than a small commercial airliner 😮 Even the JH-7 is said to beat the J-8 in a dog-fight :D.

In contrast planes like K-8, FC-1, and even J-7G variants provide better value for small countries like mine. When it comes to bigger countries with bigger budgets, there are better alternatives.
