For those who think LY-80 is copy of Buk systems.

But can you confirm the sale of "B" version to Pakistan?

Actually it is more equal to BUK M3

A Buk M3 TELAR vehicle is fitted with radar, missile erector and launcher, and friend or foe identification system. It is operated by a crew of 4. TELAR carries a pod with 6 containerized missiles. Such modular approach speeds up reloading of the vehicle. Also it is significant improvement over older Buk systems, that carry only 4 missiles


The intercepter is more similar to new 9M317M missile of BUK M3.

It can hit 25 KM high. HQ16b can intercept Brahmos, confirmed! I search it on Chinese forum.

No SARH missiles have a very very tough time intercepting a supersonic cruise missiles . Prove it otherwise

Pakistan Army on Sunday inducted Chinese-built Low to Medium Altitude Air Defence System (LOMADS) LY-80 in its air defence system, read a statement issued by the military’s media wing.

Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa was the chief guest at the induction ceremony held at Army Auditorium, the Inter-Services Public Relations said.

LY-80 is a Chinese mobile air defence system capable of tracking and destroying variety of aerial targets at longer ranges flying at low and medium altitude, the ISPR statement read.

The army chief said, “LY-80 LOMADS increases our response capability to current and emerging air defence threats.”

Earlier on arrival, Gen Bajwa was received by Lieutenant General Muhammad Zahid Latif Mirza, the commander of military’s air defence arm.

Of course its chinese built...smh

 

[帅的一匹]

Designated ''Hasan'', it seems the system is beyond the 45 Km range.

'Hasan' (LY-80 SAM system) will provide much needed defence umbrella to Pakistan's strategic assets from rival India @OfficialDGISPR

When will Pakistan go for 150KM plus FD2000?

The domestic HQ9b for PLA has max range of 230KM in test(30KM hit altitude, max 4.2 Mach).

10% more range than it's designed specification.

 

[BHarwana]

Of course its chinese built...smh

We have inducted it. it is operational.

Great news.I am very happy.

 

[Shiji]

Finally a worthwhile SAM system for the AD!
Now only if we see the HQ-9 in Pak Colours!

 

[IceCold]

@The Deterrent sir your thoughts? Also how effective would this system be lets say against Indian prithvi or Agni series if HQ 9 is also added to the mix? I know we wont be using it against anything but aircrafts but for the sake of argument what if we decide to do than?

 

[Arsalan 345]

Pakistan should continue to add more missile defence systems. We should cover our entire eastern border with sams.

These are not ABM systems my friend these are just SAMs. It will have no effect on Indian TBMs. That also goes for HQ-9s too

Yes they can be used against both CM and BM.

 

[Safriz]

High altitude encounters are for BVR

 

[Indian wonk]

No. not even against Brahmos a super sonic cruise missile and in the future will go hypersonic

Meh. Not interested in your fanboyism revolving around Bra-hmos.
