PLAN Anti-ship/surface missiles

I just find it odd that there are so many discussions and interests regarding PLAN's anti ship/surface missiles, radars and sensors(the big GAN debate), engines and many other but barely anything for HHQ-9 which is such an important aspect of modern naval warfare.

I asked and looked around and the only thing which people can definitively say that there's A and B variants but barely anything more. There's little to no speculations or rumors to even go about it.

Yea, I saw the new ABM missile HQ-19 in the other threads, but seems that that it won't be launched from ships in the near future which is understandable as USN isnt close to be deploying or intending to deploy AshBM

If you're fine with speculations and rumors, the main difference between the A and B variants according to some, is the replacement of the steel motor casing with a composite one, and a reduction in warhead size from 150 kg into something under 100 kg, and a seeker upgrade.

Thank you, I am happy with that.
Any rumours of an upgraded version coming?
