Comments

• [ ] Need a facility with

1x SLC-14 X-Band ABM FC/Early waring Radar (May Just copy AN/TPY-2 [sensor 515], 2020s tech and Give it 360 degree arc)

8x TELs (same as HQ-9B site), each TEL with 6x Missile

C2 vehicles

• [ ] PoH increase to 95%. The display board highlighted its capability against strong-penetration-capability missile (most likely the DF-17). Not to mention, China's vast BM & HGV arsenal provides a testing environment unmatched worldwide.

The OSINT, which is mostly from China (including reliable sources), refers to it as "Sino THAAD-ER". From the looks of it, its container is indeed larger than THAAD that it can only carry 6 rounds per TEL. Give it a range between 40N6 and SM-6 BLK IB, half the range of SC-19. https://twitter.com/Nickatgreat1220/status/1853666771146018919 https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/t/pla-anti-air-missile-sam-systems.7266/page-106 https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2019/03/technological-path-out-missile-defense-security-dilemma/155641/

Not reliable, but a bit valuable estimate: https://twitter.com/Flankerchan/status/1854007158708552182 (Its diameter may 2-time larger than THAAD)

SLC-14 is rotatable:

CCTV officially announced that HQ-19 has the ability to effectively engage HGV, seems to have the capability of GPI? Does that mean it has a greater range than we thought? https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/t/pla-anti-air-missile-sam-systems.7266/page-110#post-1130665
