Here, someone discussed that satellite map revealed that China is building about 16 new silo in innner monoglia.
Hope they are for the upcoming silo-based heavy ICBM DF-45.

Air-defense system ready for global sales

China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the country's top missile maker, has brought a new high-mobility air-defense missile system to the international market.
Developed by the CASIC Second Academy in Beijing, China's leading manufacturer of air-defense weapons, each HQ-17AE unit consists of one six-wheeled launch vehicle, eight short-range air-defense missiles and a solid-state phased-array radar system.
It can detect and intercept multiple targets and also has good mobility, which means it is an ideal option for forward-deployed ground forces' air-defense operations, the academy said.
Designers said the system is capable of detecting and bringing down all types of air threats including stealth fighter jets, helicopters, combat drones and cruise missiles that enter its defensive perimeter.
The launch vehicle can travel at speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour and can fire missiles while moving at speeds of up to 25 km/h, designers said, adding that its strike range for incoming fighter jets ranges from 15 km to 20 km.
Yu Benshui, an air-defense missile expert at the CASIC Second Academy, said that each HQ-17AE launch vehicle can simultaneously handle four incoming targets while its predecessors can only deal with one target at a time.
"The missile system can rapidly respond to incoming threats and can fit in complicated battlefield situations. The HQ-17AE is five times more combat capable than its predecessors," said Yu, who is also an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Chinese weapons observers believe the HQ-17AE is the export version of the HQ-17A, the latest air-defense weapon for the People's Liberation Army Ground Force, which was also developed by the CASIC Second Academy. CASIC has not confirmed the link between the two types.
The HQ-17A was first shown to the public during the National Day parade in Beijing in October 2019 that marked the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Before the HQ-17AE, CASIC had provided its FM-3000 short-to-medium-range air-defense missile system to the global market, saying it was a good choice for any buyer seeking an effective, reliable and affordable air-defense system.
Designers said the FM-3000 is particularly suitable for defense against precision-guided munitions such as air-to-ground tactical missiles and laser-guided bombs, adding it can be used to safeguard strategically important regions such as national capitals or places with key assets.

From East Pendulum/ Henry K's tweeter. "HQ-19, an Artist's impression."
HQ-19 is the new generation long range air defence missile capable of ABM, it is based on HQ9 and has been improved vastly to justiy a different class designation.
Chinese SAM designation usually follows the practice of adding sequantial number infront of previous generation missile.
Example, HQ2 - first generation
HQ12 - 2nd generation
HQ22 - 3rd generation.

- HQ-9 – TVM version SAM.
- HHQ-9 — Naval version.[19]
- HQ-9A — Upgraded version, first tested in 1999 and service entry in 2001.[19] Chinese sources claim that the HQ-9 family of systems employ much newer computing technology than imported Russian S-300PMU/PMU1/PMU2 systems, because HQ-9 is developed more than a decade later, thus allowing it to incorporate advancement in microelectronics. Due to the superior computing capability for signal processing, data processing and guidance support, this missile can have an optional semi-active radar homing (SARH) mode, because more info can be processed on board the missile itself.
- HHQ-9A — Ship-borne naval version of HQ-9A. Eight 6-cell vertical launch silos, of cylindrical shape and using "cold launch" method, mounted on the Type 052C destroyer (48 missiles in total).[20]
- HQ-9B — reportedly tested in February 2006.[19] According to Jane's Information Group, this missile has a dual seeker that incorporates both SARH & infrared homing mode[21]
- HQ-9C – Currently under development, incorporating active radar homing mode. Range reported to be 400km.
- HQ-19 – A vastly upgraded version of HQ-9 to counter ballistic missile and satellites (ASAT) on the lower end of Low Earth orbits, and it is the Chinese equivalent of THAAD.[22] HQ-19 is armed with a dual purpose exosphere kinetic kill vehicle (kkv) warhead designed by a team led by Professor Zhou Jun (周军), which can be used against ballistic missile warheads or satellites.[23] Its first flight occurred in 2003; since then, the missile has conducted several other tests, including one on 1 November 2015.[24][25]
