Turkey could adopt Chinese air defense missile system HQ-9 FD-2000 for T-Loramids program 2606133---Army Recognition
The most basic formation of a HQ-9 batteries consisted of one Type 305B search radar, one tracking radar, one 200kW Diesel generator truck, and eight Transporter erector launchers (TELs) each with 8 missiles, totaling 32 rounds ready to fire. The HQ-9 is a two-stage missile.
that is why you guys purchased S300 system for China ?well, it is just a start,in the coming days, CHina-made weapons will defeat its russian and west rivals ,just as CHina-made civilian goods do,
the key word is "cost performance.
Our missile is not perfect, so we need to learn things from Russia.that is why you guys purchased S300 system for China ?
We bought things for learn , but India bought things since it can not produce.that is why you guys purchased S300 system for China ?

China, Turkey held joint air exercise: Pentagon | TR DefenceThe reality is that Turkey is now a regional power trying to find its balance. It is in a region where Muslim governments are mixed with secular states, predominantly Christian nations and a Jewish state. When you take the 360-degree view that the AKP likes to talk about, it is an extraordinary and contradictory mixture of states. Turkey is a country that maintains relations with Iran, Israel and Egypt, a dizzying portfolio.It is not a surprise that the Turks are not doing well at this. After an interregnum of nearly a century, Turkey is new to being a regional power, and everyone in the region is trying to draw Turkey into something for their own benefit. Syria wants Turkish mediation with Israel and in Lebanon. Azerbaijan wants Turkish support against Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh. Israel and Saudi Arabia want Turkish support against Iran. Iran wants Turkey's support against the United States.
Kosovo wants its support against Serbia. It is a rogue's gallery of supplicants, all wanting something from Turkey and all condemning Turkey when they don't get it. Not least of these is the United States, which wants Turkey to play the role it used to play, as a subordinate American ally.
Turkey's strategy is to be friends with everyone, its "zero conflict with neighbors" policy, as the Turks call it. It is an explicit policy not to have enemies. The problem is that it is impossible to be friends with all of these countries. Their interests are incompatible, and in the end, the only likely outcome is that all will find Turkey hostile and it will face distrust throughout the region. Turkey was genuinely surprised when the United States, busy finally getting sanctions into place against Iran, did not welcome Turkey's and Brazil's initiative with Iran. But unlike Brazil, Turkey lives in a tough neighborhood and being friendly with everyone is not an option.
This policy derives, I think, from a fear of appearing, like the Ottoman Empire, so distrusted by secularists. The Ottoman Empire was both warlike and cunning. It was the heir to the Byzantine tradition and it was worthy of it. Ataturk simplified Turkish foreign policy radically, drawing it inward. Turkey's new power makes that impossible, but it is important, at least at this point in history, for Turkey not to appear too ambitious or too clever internationally. The term neo-Ottoman keeps coming up, but is not greeted happily by many people. Trying to be friendly with everyone is not going to work, but for the Turks, it is a better strategy now than being prematurely Byzantine. Contrary to others, I see Turkish foreign policy as simple and straightforward: What they say and what they intend to do are the same. The problem with that foreign policy is that it won't work in the long run. I suspect the Turkish government knows that, but it is buying time for political reasons.
It is buying time for administrative reasons as well. The United States entered World War II without an intelligence service, with a diplomatic corps vastly insufficient for its postwar needs and without a competent strategic-planning system. Turkey is ahead of the United States of 1940, but it does not have the administrative structure or the trained and experienced personnel to handle the complexities it is encountering. The Turkish foreign minister wakes up in the morning to Washington's latest demand, German pronouncements on Turkish EU membership, Israeli deals with the Greeks, Iranian probes, Russian views on energy and so on. It is a large set of issues for a nation that until recently had a relatively small foreign-policy footprint.
Meantime Turkey is also the top patron for Uyghur "dissidents" with a large Uyghur community. Are Uyghurs Running A Terrorist Network In Turkey And China? | Stirring Trouble Internationally - Humorous Comments and Analysis Of News And Current AffairsThe air forces of China and Turkey have carried out a joint exercise, the US Defense Department said on Friday, in what appeared to be the first such drill involving Beijing and a NATO member country.
Turkey assured the US it would take the "utmost care" to protect sensitive US and NATO technologies, said US army Lieutenant Colonel Tamara Parker, a department spokeswoman. She said Turkey's government was committed to the NATO alliance and the continuation of strong ties to the US.

i think @ shiphone already pointed out that china isnt exporting the original version of the system rather a tone down version of it... i guess then china doesnt really need a new system altogether....One thing is for sure. If China exports this system with TOT, there must be something new and better in the making.
These are some awesome boots:We also import boots!
And, believe it or not, foreign brands of shoes are outsourced by them to Agra!
Now add that to the list.
