Was this shared? It is being marketed as an addition to the HQ-17AE. 24 short range and 48 very short range missiles... Very probably against cheap UAVs.


Note to the mods: I can't upload photos. It says they are too large.

What I do is upload them to imgur and then link them in if they're too big.

As for the sign for HQ-17AE, I think it is just bad positioning of the sign and/or photography because we can see an actual HQ-17AE next to that vehicle.

No, it says unmanned vehicle in chinese on the sign.

Oh it does so.

I wonder if it's meant to be better translated as "unmanned fire support vehicle for HQ-17AE".

Alternatively, the sign has "HQ-17AE" and "Fire support vehicle (unmanned") on separate lines and it's meant to be separately referring to the HQ-17AE and the unmanned SAM vehicle -- i.e.: two systems on one sign
