Long-range air defense missile system - China
Description
The FD-2000 (export version of HQ-9) is an advanced long-range air defense missile weapon system designed and manufactured by the Chinese Defense Company CPMIEC (China Precision Machinery Import & Export Corporation). It can perform air-defense engagement missions in massive air raids under intense electronic jamming. It can intercept not only aircraft, armed helicopters and UAVs, but also cruise missiles, air-to-ground missiles, and stand-off precision-guided bombs. The FD-2000 is used as an air-defense system to protect political, military, and economic facilities. With two-level of command and control capability, it can command other air defense weapons to form a layered air defense system. The FD-2000 was unveiled for the first time to the public at the 8th Zhuhai Airshow in 2012. The export version of HQ-9 provides extra anti-stealth capability by incorporating YLC-20 passive sensor as an option.
