The bigger missile range also comes in handy when the target is doing evasive maneuvers. Under such circumtances, the target may still be within the radar tracking range.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume that a single engagement radar could guide multiple types of SAM systems.

Also, the SJ-231 does appear to be the same array as previsouly identified as HT-233...could the HT-233 have been misidentified? It is likely that there is an early warning radar for the system, and that could be the HT-233 (a 64N6 or 36D6 analog). What do SJ and HT stand for?
Click to expand...

true, I personally have not seen any poster of HT-233. But that again, China don't normally advertise things that they are currently fielding. No idea what they stand for. So I got an updated poster. This is clearly for KS-1A.

Huang, slightly off topic but...
is this a KT-1 solid satellite launcher/ASAT appearing in the fading background of this poster?
May be the PR design guy was simply clueless and PS'ed the next best ´cool´missile launch into his work but perhaps KS-1A and the KT-1 are under the same organizational ´roof´? Do you know something about this, dear Huang?

LD2000 is almost tailor made to provide effective point defence for small islands.

A few of those with some Tor support will make those islands very hard to crack just by themselves.

However, unless tensions move up to a totally different league, I seriously doubt China would deploy such assets to those islands.

A little OT, but something I always wondered is what are those white crosses painted on PLA radars for?

You don't see them on the naval stuff, just the army it seems.
