HQ-9BE, being an advanced long-range air and missile defence weapon system inducted by PLA forces, can perform all-weather air-defense mission in mass air raid and severe electronic jamming conditions. It is designed to counter not only all kinds of airbreathing targets, including low radar signature air targets, but also the tactical ballistic missile (TBM). As a premier selection for national territory air defense, HQ-9BE has large killing space and strong capability against multitarget saturation attack, which is mainly provided for air force and air defense force. It can also cooperate with other short-tomedium range air defense weapons to form multi-layer air defense system, and as the core of the system to command other air defense weapons to undertake region air defense task, which can effectively improve the efficiency of defense.
