Few things from that video, the guy announced the helicopter located target 180km away, so most likely they were firing YJ83, the TV editor just edited the HQ16 clip in there maybe because they didn't catch the YJ83 launch. Also great to see the 76mm gun in anti air mode. Lastly that's a long long 730 burst.

can the helo locate so far away? 180km, that is a bit of a long shot isnt it
good one, the numbers are odd for the outer pair, and even for the inner ones, anyone with knowledge/experience can explain why?
that's the purpose of having OTH helo asset, to provide targeting beyond ship radar limits, so that your uber long range missile does no go to waste

which helo is that? was it Z9, what radar does it carry
The helo can also fly low and only pop up to illuminate the target when needed.
Is it possible to transmit the location of enemy target to ship, which then fires the missile and have the missile travel for a estimated distance in the general direction of the target before acquiring the target using it's own sensors?
