Its role is to defend high value targets from PGMs. For example, C4 nodes and S-300 radars. It doesn't have to follow the army around. The big box is the operator station.
I think it's big limitation is the relatively short range of the TY-70 SAM. We know that the air-launched version has a range of about 6km so the ground launged version is probably about 5km IMO. QW-4 would probably be a better choice.
Hi guys...
Sri Lanka is looking to China to set up its air defense system. Due to the LTTE terrorist launching "air raids" using light aircrafts.
Several Chinese 2D & 3D radars are to be purchased. The LTTE has being using Chinese made twin 14.5mm naval guns onboard their boats. The SL Navy also uses the same weapon.
Sir Lanka is said to have ordered 50 Type-82 14.5mm HMG's? I cant find any info on a Type-82 system.
Can some one please enlighten me on the Chinese made 14.5mm and 35mm systems?
I have looked all over the Sino defence page and found no Type-82 twin 14.5mm Naval AAA. I think its same 14.5mm twin onboard TYPE 067 (YUNAN CLASS) & TYPE 037-IG (HOUXIN CLASS) boats. Any info or pics of these gun? thanks
