No hq-9 or S-300 on SCS coast
PLA Anti-Air Missile (SAM) systems
- Thread starter FORBIN
- Start date
Each brigade usually has between 4 and 6 firing batteries. Which would roughly give:
25 S-300 batteries
25 HQ-22 batteries
30 HQ-12 batteries
40 HQ-9 batteries
What's impressive is the speed of HQ-22 proliferation/procurement. Just some 3 years ago we had just heard about that system entering Chinese service. And by 2022 it may rival HQ-12 in numbers. HQ-12 doesn't seem to be rising in numbers, so HQ-22 production may have superseded it completely.
HQ-9 procurement is fairly slow, but then again, a lot of HQ-9 missiles are going to the navy.

I don't believe the number look at India border only 1 SAM brigade? that is impossible I think by now they should have a range of SAM brigades toward India

There will be another brigade there in the near future, due to the largest amount of facilities built there lately.
6-8 launchers, meaning 24-32 missiles locked and loaded?
