The US military will soon be able to train using a realistic replica of the Chinese HQ-22 anti-aircraft missile system. This training mockup was created by Torch Technologies in Huntsville, Alabama. It accurately mimics the appearance, radar signature, and behavior of real Chinese air defenses, which is very important for training pilots and operators in real combat conditions.
Why is this necessary? In modern conflicts, enemies often use such advanced air defenses to shoot down planes and drones. Therefore, it is very useful for our troops to know how to recognize and effectively counter these threats. Such surrogate training goals help to work out protection against complex anti-aircraft systems without risking real equipment and without endangering living people.
By the way, the HQ-22 itself is a Chinese medium— and long-range anti-aircraft system with a range of up to 150-170 km and a target height of up to 27 km. It is capable of simultaneously launching missiles at multiple targets and is protected from electronic interference.
