It's apparently a missile re-supply vehicle for a certain HQ-XX SAM.
According to one of the CASC director interviewed, HQ-16FE can intercept tactical ballistic missile apart from the normal Aircraft, UAVs and PGMs. The missile looks like a smaller version of HQ-9. Reportedly can even do sideslip manoeuver to hit agile targets.
Same truck as the one used on the alleged 203mm gun.
Difference is this one hasnt crashed (yet)

What 203mm gun? And how do we know this is the vehicle that carries it?
LOL indeed. Said this same idea in another thread.
Zhuhai air show is Zhuhai anti-air show
Given how the HQ-16FE has a range of 160km with the same size, does this confirm what many have suspected all along? That the HQ-16 intentionally sacrifices range for higher agility than similarly ranged missiles like ESSM?
Or does it simply represent an improvement in PLA rocket and propellant technology?
