More images of the mystery missile.
洋务先驱张之洞: Something a notch above the HQ-19 — worthy of being mounted on the military’s only armored cab air defense missile launcher.
Begs the question of why bother putting on a tarp when you can see everything anyway… is this to protect the launcher from the elements?
The original poster claimed that these could be HQ-29/26/DN-XX(?), though I'm not so sure of the claim, given the presence of air conditioning units above the driver cabs. Said to be photographed at Shandong last year. Posted by @tyruschi on Twitter.
I wonder how this thing compares to GBI if it's truly a KEI-equivalent, for midcourse ICBM defence. Higher speed etc should enable more shoot look shoot cycles/improve ability for later/more last minute engagements.
