Possibly from Pakistan.

Yup looks like it is from Pakistan

How good are these missiles against moving targets?

How good are these missiles against moving targets?

There is no reason why it won't perform against moving targets. Practically, there are no stationary ship targets.

CASIC claims a hit probability of 90%.

Possibly from Pakistan.

most probably not

[airmarshal]

What is the range of these missiles?

How will this system avoid an anti radiation weapon system that could destroy this system on ground while its radar is tracking a target?

JF-17s and Mirages are already loaded with anti ship weapons, our frigates, corvettes to be, fast attack crafts and missile boats are also carrying lethal anti ship missiles. These shore based weapons mounted on trucks and whatever are giving us an "unlimited" firepower against enemy ships from 400-700 km. Next step is to ensure aerial cover by deploying very long range BVR missiles on our Thunders so any bogey from an aircraft carrier should not wander around our shores. Most importantly we should induct SAMs, lots of SAMs to make an iron wall...

Congratulations

But can it hit moving ships ??

Ofcourse...every anti ship system has an active end seeker..this is like saying can a plan fly!!!!

Nice, But I dont see any radar to search and track targets.

 

[Inception-06]

I was waiting for years for such a system, that's a true coastal anti-ship defence system, now its time to produce a home based air defence systems, which then can go into mass production!
