History
Developed since the 1980s with technology derived from Soviet S-300P and US Patriot, HQ-9 entered service in 1997; the export BE variant extends range beyond 250 km.
Purchased by Turkey (later cancelled due to NATO pressure), Pakistan and Morocco; it is China's alternative to S-400 and Patriot on the global market.
