Surface-to-air missiles of China

The HQ-9 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-9.) is a long-range semi-active radar homing (SARH) surface-to-air missile (SAM) developed by the People's Republic of China. The naval variant is the HHQ-9 (). The HQ-9 and its export variants are developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

The PL-12 (, NATO reporting name: CH-AA-7 Adze) is an active radar-guided beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile developed by the People's Republic of China. It is considered comparable to the US AIM-120 AMRAAM and the Russian R-77.

The HQ-7 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-4) is a short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) from the People's Republic of China. It was reverse-engineered by the Changfeng Electromechanical Technology Design Institute from the French R-440 Crotale SAM. It entered service in the early 1980s.

The PL-9 () is a short-range, infrared-homing air-to-air missile (AAM) developed by the People's Republic of China.

FN-6 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-10) is a third-generation passive infrared homing (IR) man portable air defence system (MANPADS) built by Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). Developed from the HN-5 missile, the FN-6 missile is an export-oriented product and one of China's most advanced shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile offered on the international market. Specially designed to engage low-flying targets, it has a range of and a maximum altitude of .

The HQ-22 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-20) is a medium- to long-range semi-active radar homing/radio-command guidance air defence system developed and manufactured by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

The KS-1 or Kaishan-1 (), military designation HQ-12 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-12) is the first Chinese surface-to-air missile to adopt a phased array radar.

The HQ-6, also known as LY-60 (NATO reporting name: CH-SA-6), is a family of Chinese air defense missiles developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST), a subsidery of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). The missile is largely based on the Chinese PL-11 and Italian Selenia (now as Leonardo S.p.A.) Aspide missile.

The HQ-16 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-16) is a Chinese medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). It is derived from earlier versions of the Russian Buk missile system.

The HN-5 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-3) is a family of first generation Chinese man-portable air-defense systems (MANPAD) based on Soviet technology. The HN abbreviation is used to avoid confusion with the HY (Hai Ying, or Sea Eagle) series anti-ship missiles of the Silkworm missile family. The HN-5 series in Chinese hands has been phased out in front-line and first line reserve units by QW series MANPAD, but still being used by militia units.

The HQ-17 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-15) is an all-weather, low to medium altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile system derived from the Tor-M1. The system is developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).

The HQ-19 (, NATO reporting name: CH-AB-2) is an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) and anti-satellite weapon (ASAT) system developed by the People's Republic of China. It is a variant of the HQ-9 long-range surface-to-air missile system. The HQ-19 system is designed to counter medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). It targets ballistic missiles in their midcourse and terminal phases, comparable to the US THAAD.

TY-90 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-13) is a Chinese air-to-air missile specifically developed for attack helicopter dogfights. Contrary to erroneous claims, the missile is not developed from MANPADS missiles, but instead, it is specifically designed as an air-to-air missile to engage in helicopter combat.
