I don't think HQ13 is a NASSAMS like system, it operates with FB-10A rather than PL12/15/10.

PLA Anti-Air Missile (SAM) systems

Assuming both are HQ-20, this would be great because it allows HQ-20 SAM to have the same magazine depth as PAC-3 MSE at 12 interceptors per launcher vehicle. But I can't be sure if that's a fair comparison since the role of HQ-20 is still unknown, although some have speculated it to be a PAC-3 MSE analogue/in role
Have we confirmed that both are HQ-20?
The launch canister for the publically displayed HQ-20 seems to have a flatter end while the other one looks a bit curved/domed. Indicating different launch mechanisms.
so likely not the same imo.

I mean the missles look like hq20 missle but this is cleary a loader vehicle it's has a crane
Looks similar to a Weishi MLRS.
There was a similar system to SLAMRAAM known as LS-2/Hunter 2 which featured a surface launched variants of PL-9 & PL-12 Although it never progressed beyond being an exhibition model, it likely served as a foundation for the sky dragon 50 jointly developed by AVIC and NORINCO. the Sky Dragon series has since evolved into a layered air defense system (ranging from VSHORAD to LRAD) that is primarily derived from A2A missiles technology.
SD-6 = TY-90
SD-8 = PL-9C
SD-12 = ?
SD/TY-20 = ?
SD-30 = PL-10
SD-50 = PL-12A
SD-100 = ?
Could the recently introduced Sky Dragon 100 be another A2A-derived SAM?
SAM launchers side profile.
Pretty sure this is inaccurate as they do not use the same cab between all of their systems.
The image of a hemispherical base, like the HP-9C missile.
Anyone if hq16c use aesa or is it still pesa I know the hq16fe use aesa
