Listen the reality is that the HQ-16 is a derivative of the Buk missile, and for all the development, making it a much more modern system it still faces some significant limitations. It is a large and heavy missile compared to its competitors. It has a shorter range compared to its competitors. It is SARH (like ESSM block 1) whereas some of its more modern competitors are ARH.
The CAMM-ER is a smaller, lighter more agile weapon which has longer range and can be quad packed with the right launch system (Sylver A-50 or Mk-41). It is ARH. We cannot say that these systems are equal. While CAMM-ER is not specifically designed for smaller ships, it is more suitable for smaller ships given its smaller and lighter frame. But it is a superior weapon in every category.
