China Delivered SY-400 Short-Range Ballistic Missile to Myanmar.

SY-400 is MLRS, while BP-12A is Short-Range Ballistic Missile.

 

[Tagaung]

SY-400 is MLRS, while BP-12A is Short-Range Ballistic Missile.

SY-400 is a missile delivery platform, not a MRLS.
It can either launch BP-12A or 300 mm PHL-03 rockets ( MRLS ).
when Qatar buy this SY-400, what they got is ballistic missile not MRLS.

P.S: we already produce and use a lot of MRLS, why would we buy different version of MRLS.

this is Qatar SY-400.

No, SY-400 and BP-12A just share the same platform.

No, SY-400 and BP-12A just share the same platform.

then why media like The diplomat and others keep referring Qatar's system as SY-400, why not BP-12A.

we will know exactly what kind of missiles we get after the photo comes out.
no point to argue now.

In Qatar case, news reported that they are getting the SY-400. Now as the picture show they got the BP-12A.

The launcher can be configured to carry one pod with four SY-400 missiles and one pod with BP-12A missile. One launcher has 2 pods; Or they can carry both SY-400 x 2 pods. I thought that we have bought both BP-12A and SY-400. We have bought guided BP-12A for sure as you have commented, we do not need to buy another MLRS. But from the picture, you will never know what is inside those pods. For Qatar, I thought they have bought SY400 MLRS, not the BP-12A.

We have bought SY400 system and no one knows from the the picture what is inside the pods. But we have bought guided BP-12A for sure. As you have commented, we do not need to buy another MLRS.

Just being curious, your username Wanchai is a district in my hometown Hongkong, are you from there or has been living there before?

So we have bought some BP-12A rockets and some SY400 MLRS rockets for sure. One launcher can carry 2 pods. Both can be 4 SY400 MLRS x 2 pods = 8 SY400 MLRS or 1 BP-12A x 2 pods = 2 BP-12 A or 4 SY400 MLRS + 1 BP-12A as we need.

Just being curious, your username Wanchai is a district in my hometown Hongkong, are you from there or has been living there before?

yes, visits there frequently.

Pictures don't lie, mate. China supplied long range ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia. SRBM to Qatar and Egypt. Now Myanmar received SRBM.

in below photo, one pod carry SY-400, one carry BP-12A.
the missile pod lid is different. so as soon as the photo came out, we will know what kind of missile we got for sure.
