Anybody knows why China still doesn't have a quadpacked aam of around 50km range like the ESSM? Is there any project for such a missile?

The quad packed missile is known as the "3 fives missile" I believe; corresponding to a few of its physical parameters.
- 50 km range
- 5m minimum altitude
- 50 gs

We don't know much about its progress, but if past PLAN SAMs are anything to go by it might just appear one day and surprise us.

Anything about the diameter and length?

Sorry to state the obvious, but if I was aware of it then I would have also posted it.

We know what the diameter of the UVLS is and what different lengths of the UVLS there are, so there are only so many likely physical limits of the quad packed missile to have, but until the missile emerges we won't know what exactly it is.

What is your educated guess ?

Considering Chinese VLS is significantly bigger than Mark-41, I think 0.35m diameter and 3.3 m length are not impossible

Can't they adopt S-400's 9M96E missile
