To my eyes, HQ9C and HQ20 are quite close in length.
Too bad the trucks arent the same, but they seem pretty close. If one assumed the tyres are of same size, then HQ20 container is even slightly longer than hq9c container. by approximately 10 percent. both should be cold launched missiles, unlike the hot launched hq11.
Too bad we don't even have a baseline measurement for hq11. i'd say its container 3.5 to 4 m long, but who knows.
If someone knows the exact length of truck used or dimensions of the tyres, that'd be very helpful.
What is apparent is that hq20 container is more or less 50% longer than hq11. Which doesnt translate into 50% longer missile, as hq20 is cold launched, so it doesnt occupy the same length percentage of the container as the hq11. But still, we could be looking at a 5 m to 5.5 m long missile. Which might then make the hq9c roughly 5 meters long? Important to keep in mind is that the naval HHQ9c is longer, as it has an additional booster stage, adding some 30% to missile's length. (assuming the baseline missile is the same) So that one might indeed be like 6.5 meters long, give or take. In other words, it's almost as long as the baseline HQ9B.
