seeking specific photos of missile firings

Totoro · Feb 8, 2011

I am seeking photos which clearly show either 052b or (preferably both) 054a class ships firing their AA missiles, but in such resolution that the general layout of the missile is clearly visible. Do such photos exist?

Alternatively, if there are photos of both ships being loaded with the said missiles, that'd come handy too.

Can anyone help?

I really don't get photos of 052B launching. I think the first one is as close as I got from the past 2 years and it's not even firing anything off. Next two are from 529 firing HQ-16. btw, there are a lot more photos of 052C and 051C firing their SAMs. Also, if it doesn't have to be launched. There are quite a few pictures of HQ-16 from 60th anniversary parade. Those ones show the missiles quite well. That's the last one I attached.

Thank you. but how sure can we be of a (crude?) model shown on a parade? Maybe it is not truly representative of an actual missile.

well, it is possible, but everything else they showed were pretty accurate, so we have no reason to think that HQ-16 was not.
