HQ-6
HQ-6 is the second member of LY-60/PL-10/HQ-6/6D/64/DK-10 developed, but it entered service before the air-to-air version PL-10, despite the start of the latter is earlier than HQ-6. The entire SAM system is consisted of four truck mounted radars (one search/surveillance radar and three tracking/fire control radars), one power supply truck, and six truck mounted Transporter / Erector / Launcher (TEL)s. The missile itself is directly coming from the air-to-air version PL-11. Unlike the Italian Aspide which utilizes containers as launchers, HQ-6 utilizes missile launching rails (MLR) instead, and each truck mounted launcher has two MLRs/missiles. Specifications:
