russian long range sam like s400 is definitely superior than chinese HQ9 .....
We have ordered 3 batteries of LY80/HQ16 along with 8 IBIS150 radars which is medium range sam system 50-70 km range .... Pakistan needs a long range SAM like FD2000 or S300 VM ..Maybe in future we will procure a replacement for our HQ 2
No official confirmation of purchse of LY-80E/HQ16A till now in media, also there is a new system with AESA radar (I forgot its name) displayed at Air Show in China this month and it was said that it will replace HQ16 SAMs why we are not purchasing it?
With SPADA-2000 & LY-80E Russian S-350E will fit well as S-350E system can engage target 30 to 120 kms with High Altitude (means 1st tier) capability and SPADA-2000 with LY-80E fill gap of upto 30 km range (means 2nd tier).
