no actually, I believe what you say a lot more than sinodefense, which is why I asked you again to make sure I got hold of what you are saying. Also, I was wondering about HHQ-16 I guess (or whatever you call that is supposedly going on 054A), as in whether there would be a land based version that is using similar technology.
HHQ-16? never heard of it.
You are totally confuse between naval systems and land based AD systems. Here is something I posted before
Chinese do not view SAM as a single unit, they view it as a combination of 5 major components, they are: Homing modules, Warhead compartments, Control Module and Engine compartments. That means when they upgrade, they work on each compartments instead of the entire SAM.
As for MPU-1 vs MPU-2...........
where to begain.........
Let it this way, S-300PMU1 system was POS, it was..........how should I put it.... marketware! the 4 battaries they imported did not live to the marketing hype. To please Beijing, the Russians offered a free, yes free assembly right and General Cao say no. PMU2 was a much improved system, however, PLA was not happy about the the hyped Track-Via-Missile installed on the PMU2, because PLA already have "something much better". however it will take some time before the HQ-16 can enter field service and they really needed a long range system, they bought more PMU2, but change the radar system to that of a local produce one (passive guidance, operating in the 2 - 18 GHz range) anyways, I suggest you read up on HT-233 phased array fire-control radar
