Can you put a little more effort into it when you are posting pictures rather than just leaving comments that make no sense at all. Also for future reference, please check to make sure that your photos are not old photos before posting them.

Yes, the above one is the 7th 054A from HP along with the 6th and 4th.

2005年初,XX-16圆满完成了陆上闭合回路飞行试验。同时,XX-16A陆用战术型号也经军委批复立项。
经过一年半的研制,2006年10月XX-16A型号试验队开赴“北风卷地百草折,胡天八月即飞雪”的塞北进行首次飞行试验——闭合摸底飞行试验。
宝剑锋从磨砺出,梅花香自苦寒来。正是在他和他的团队不懈努力下,XX-16A型号取得了研制飞行试验29发28中的优异成绩,刷新了防空导弹研制史的多项记录,
2006年,张宏程已经走上了管理岗位,从一位敢闯敢拼的战士成长为运筹帷幄的指挥员。在完成两型型号研制工作以后,张宏程又迅速转向XX-16B和XX-16改进型的预先研究工作
他更加注重型号研制的科学性、规范性,突破了“烧蚀燃气舵”、“主动/半主动复合制导”等重大技术攻关,为XX-16B的成功立项做出重要贡献,并积极推动XX-16改进型完成集团公司立项并纳入海军“十二五”发展规划。
it says that HQ-16 completed flight testing over land in 2005. They also started development of the land based version HQ-16A, which started testing in Oct 2006. HQ-16A successfully hit 28 out of 29 targets in testing.
There is also a HQ-16B and HQ-16 improved version in development. Talks about developing active/semi active combined guidance and "Vane ablation"??. It will be interesting to see where this two new version of HQ-16 fits into 054 program and other programs in the future.

That depends on how much the newer missile is compatible, in terms of physical hardware and software control interface, with current HQ-16 system already in service, though it should be modular enough to mate with new upgrades.

^ I think it was more directed towards future iterations of 054 and/or future destroyer, VLS and general SAM projects/modularity and not whether a future missile can fit into current ships.

I'm more interested in how extensive new variants of HQ-16 will be, whether they will upgrade it like the USN standard missile to replace HQ-9 altogether, or continue its work as a medium range missile.

Vane ablation suggests vanes in the exhaust of the rocket engine. This gas is hot enough to burn away the vanes, but that burning away can be slow enough for the vanes to survive until burn out of the engine.
