Test Firing of HQ-16 (LY-80) Surface to Air Missile System


Chinese HQ-16 is a medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system which can be launched vertically. 
Vertically launched HQ-16 SAM has range of over 40 kilometers and a single launcher can carry six HQ-16 surface to air missiles.


Vertically launched HHQ-16 is a highly  maneuverability anti-air missile system which can engage extremely low flying targets flying due to its high speed of Mach 4.


People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is using the HHQ-16 SAM on its Type 054A Jiangkai II class frigates.
