Agreed. The same thing I said beforeHowever, long-range SAM systems would need to be under Air Force control, Tufail added, as the service has “a far greater visibility of the air defense ground environment and can not only manage such a system better, but can prevent fratricide in a [beyond-visual-range] shooting scenario."

Dont the missile tubes diameter look more than usual hq-9 and length much less than usual ?HQ 9 or FD2000 spotted in Pakistan.
FD2000 is long-range Higher altitude Surface to Air missiles system .
It is the Chinese counterpart to Russian S300 and Patriot SAM systems

During early 2015, Pakistan became the first country to start negotiations on the import of the HQ-9 and HQ-16 with China. In December 2018, it was reported in few media circles that Pakistan is now studying the feasibility of procuring three or four FD-2000 SAM systems to fulfill its long-range air defense requirements
That is infact HQ-22/12.HQ-22 also looks similar to HQ-9:
