PLA Anti-Air Missile (SAM) systems

You guy's are clueless!!!
My cousin is HQ9B operator. Actually an officer and I'm an engineer currently working in Germany. We talked about brahmos and other missiles India launched. He said they intercepted 60% Indian missiles including brahmos . According to him french Scalp cruise missile was most difficult to intercept. He said India fired 65 missiles they intercepted all rampage rocket with both hardkill and soft kill method. Brahmos were fired in unexpected number like 9 at onetime. It's more than what a hq9 battery can handle still they shot down 8 and one hit refrigerator containers at nurkhan base. According to him hq9 systems were amazing but hq16 disappointed. It was the system meant to intercept brahmos but had only 40% success rate. Moreover he add our operators all had no experience and it affected badly. I asked about the speed and altitudes of brahmos to which he answered " what i saw is brahmos travels at an average speed of mach 2.2 at 2km altitude. It dives to 300m when it's 30km away from target and speed drops to mach 2.

Added. Brahmos is a decent missile but not invincible, if correct systems and trained crew are employed interception rate can go well above 80%. He said they're looking for Turkish hisar o systems coupled with low altitude Alp 100g radar. He said this system can solve their loop holes.

I don't really know where to post this (since the Kashmir thread was locked) .
But this is an interesting comment I came across under a YouTube video

It's made by some person who claims his cousin is an HQ-9 operator in Pakistan.

He's talking about the brahmos attacks of 10 may here

Take everything he says with a grain of salt of-course.


So overall the hq-9b did great but the hq 16 was overwhelming

If his comment doesn't pop up through the link, try going to the newest comment to that video.

Thoughts?
