Now, this is very interesting.

NORINCO is marketing a concept combined arms brigade equipped fully by NORINCO products. From artillery, missiles, ATGMS, and armored vehicles to communications equipment, SAMs, drones, and unmanned ground combat vehicles, you can conveniently order from the same catalog. Heck, it even comes with a brigade command center should the customer want the whole nine yards.

So you reckon this could be potentially 555 missile ? we may be lucky to see the dimension and specs of it later on. It may fit to the UVLS quad packed

Not this one. Apparently someone has mentioned this one is HQ-11. I meant either of these as 555 or rather, 555 related.

The two I was referring to:

1.

2.

1. Appears more like a Pantsir two stage missile ie Shorad of greater range than something like Crotale/HQ-7 or Tor/HQ-17. Also the picture of what appears to be the actual missile (assuming) is not PL-12 which is a possibility of what 555 is based off.

2. Much more of the size we expect 555 to be but the alleged 50km range of 555 missile is rather low for something this long and relatively thick. Then again, the 555 is said to be mach 5 at max speed (considerably higher than any other medium range SAM in existence) which should translate to higher slant range than 50km because there's no reason for it to lose energy from mach 5 so quickly. Range of any mach 5 missile (even assuming fast burn) should be well over 100km. Easily 200km. I mean a AIM-120C launched at mach 1, maxing out at mach 3 to mach 4 in ideal cases, can travel at least 50km with effectiveness to threaten a maneuverable fighter target just on that momentum.

555 missile if two staged should be long and thin like object 2. But the claimed 50km range makes little sense unless intentional misinformation and the actual range is around 100km. Just can't understand how a missile can accelerate to mach 5 and only have a range of 50km unless they're measuring by assuming massive maneuvering and more climbing.
