The HQ-9B, HQ-19 [THAAD counterpart], HQ-26 [SM-3 counterpart] and HQ-29
 [PAC-3 counterpart] are designed primarily for Anti Ballistic Missile 
capabilities. While the HQ-9A air defense variant of the HQ-9 series is 
very well attested, the remaining theater missile defense interceptors 
are poorly attested, and verge on being little more than rumors.<br />
<br />
The only official document that clearly states the designation <a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/world/china/hq-19.htm" target="_blank">HQ-19</a> is a
 document entitled "The needs analysis propulsion system of tactical 
missiles and direction of development for solid propellant engine", 
dating from 2000 and written by the Institute 41 CCAC Group (China 
Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation). This paper analyzes 
firstly the risks and types of conflict that China may face up to 2010 
(The document is dated 2000, and speaks of "in 10 years"), and gives 
types of tactical missiles to develop a priority to deal with these 
external threats. In subsection 3.4, a priority is given to the need for
 an anti-missile system capable of intercepting high altitude heads 
ballistic missile whose range is 3000km, phase re-entry. And in response
 to this paragraph 3.4, in section 4.4 it is clearly stated "Developing 
solid propellant engines that meet the needs of anti-missile systems 
area at high altitude," a concept close to American THAAD ( Terminal 
High Altitude Area Defense).<br />
<br />
Finally, in paragraph 5.4 of the document, it gives the status of the 
development of the HQ-19 motor - a solid propellant engine demonstration
 with a specific impulse of 260s, mass ratio of 0.85 and able to provide
 the necessary power for maneuverability 60g to track down the head of 
ballistic missile, a "completed the design phase, fabrication and 
testing", "testing validated the carbon fiber shell and propellant 
N-15B."<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/world/china/hq-19.htm" target="_blank">HQ-19 missile is a project launched in the late 1990s</a>. In 1995 the 
Chinese started serious studies of a kinetic kill vehicle KKV under 
Program 863. In 1986, to meet the global challenges of new technology 
revolution and competition, four Chinese scientists, WANG Daheng, WANG 
Ganchang, YANG Jiachi, and CHEN Fangyun, jointly proposed to accelerate 
China’s high-tech development. With strategic vision and resolution, the
 late Chinese leader Mr. DENG Xiaoping personally approved the National 
High-tech R&D Program, namely the 863 Program. Implemented during 
three successive Five-year Plans, the program has boosted China’s 
overall high-tech development, R&D capacity, socio-economic 
development, and national security. In April 2001, the Chinese State 
Council approved continued implementation of the program in the 10th 
Five-year Plan. As one of the national S&T program trilogy in the 
10th Five-year Plan, 863 Program continues to play its important role.<br />
<br />
In 1999, the first Chinese KKV made the suspension tests successfully 
flight, China became the second country in the world to have mastered 
the technology. The first test of V & V was held in 2003 with 
success. It was in final certification. HQ-19 has a KKV of about 35kg, 
the system performance would be similar to the US THAAD. Another R &
 D document mentions a technology demonstration at the HQ-19 engines in 
2000, led by the Academy 4 CCAC group. The demonstration also validated 
"hull carbon fiber" and "rocket N-15B".<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 15px;"><b>S-400 Triumf</b></span><br />
It is believed by some that the Russian S-400 Triumf surface-to-air 
missile system was a joint development program, but others say that 
HQ-19 has nothing to do with S-400 [according to one source, "and I say 
this with certainty." China has shown interest in acquiring Russia’s 
newest long-range SAM, the S-400 TRIUMF, but a contract has not been 
signed yet and Russian officials have stated China would not receive the
 S-400 until at least 2017. This SAM can target aircraft, cruise 
missiles, and tactical and medium-range ballistic missiles.<br />
<br />
The deployment of the Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system will 
substantially improve China's air defense capability, military experts 
said as Russian media reported 16 April 2015 that China has bought the 
cutting-edge weapon.<br />
<br />
"The S-400 is definitely one of the top anti-aircraft weapons in the 
world. It will greatly supplement the People's Liberation Army's air 
defense system, which now has some loopholes in long-range, 
high-altitude defense of airplanes or ballistic missiles," said Wang 
Ya'nan, deputy editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine.<br />
<br />
"The system has multiple types of missiles with various ranges, enabling
 it to safeguard a very large area of airspace. Some of its missiles are
 even specifically designed to intercept ballistic missiles," Wang said.
 "Moreover, some of its launch tubes can store and launch several 
different missiles, which makes it very convenient and fast to use."<br />
<br />
Russia has a long history of developing anti-aircraft and missile 
defense weapons, so the S-400 is a concentration of some of the most 
advanced missile technologies Russia has, such as an active 
electronically scanned array radar, according to Wang. "China still 
lacks experience in the development of long-range air defense systems, 
especially those that can intercept ballistic missiles. There is no 
shortcut because the development of such sophisticated weapons requires a
 great number of experiments and tests. It is a matter of time and 
resource input," he added.<br />
<br />
According to Russian media reports, the S-400 is a new-generation, 
anti-aircraft weapon system capable of engaging any aerial target, 
including airplanes, helicopters and drones, as well as cruise and 
tactical ballistic missiles, with a maximum speed of 4.8 km per second. 
The system's 40N6 missile can destroy airborne targets at ranges up to 
400 km.<br />
<br />
Anatoly Isaikin, chief executive of the Russian state-run arms trader 
Rosoboronexport, confirmed on Monday that China has a contract with his 
company for the purchase of the S-400 air defense systems. "I will not 
disclose the details of the contract, but yes, China has indeed become 
the first buyer of this sophisticated Russian air defense system. It 
underlines once again the strategic level of our relations," Isaikin 
told the Russian newspaper Kommersant.<br />
<br />
China clinched the deal in September at a cost of more than $3 billion 
for the delivery of at least six S-400 battalions, Moscow Times 
reported. Currently, China relied on its domestically developed HQ-9 and
 the Russian-made S-300 missile system, according to Western military 
observers.<br />
<br />
Du Wenlong, a senior researcher at the PLA Academy of Military Science, 
said the operational ranges of modern military aircraft and missiles are
 much longer than their predecessors, so an effective defense system 
must have long-range missiles that can hit aircraft as well as cruise 
missiles and tactical ballistic missiles. "Our air force has deployed 
the Russian S-300 systems, which are good at dealing with aircraft, but 
their performance in intercepting cruise missiles and tactical ballistic
 missiles is not very satisfactory," he said. "After we commission the 
S-400, it can work with the HQ-9 and S-300 to form a fully covered air 
defense network."<br />
<br />
Zhao Zhihua, a senior missile researcher at China Aerospace Science and 
Industry Corp, a major developer of China's missiles, said that through 
the introduction of the S-400, China can gain a lot of experience and 
expertise on how to operate a missile defense system. "Operating such a 
complex system will go beyond our current knowledge and experience, 
which in turn will teach us things that we don't know, so it is worthy 
spending big money buying it," he previously told the Ordnance Industry 
Science and Technology magazine.  <i><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/world/china/hq-19.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HQ-19</a></i><br />

HQ-9 air defence system, with a range of about 200km (125 miles)<br />
  <br />
HQ-9’s guidance system is modeled on the Patriot’s. Which means that 
the <a href="http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/look-out-america-chinas-missile-deployment-only-the-15236" target="_blank">HQ-9 might use the Patriot’s “track-via-missile” guidance system</a>—allowing the HQ-9 interceptor to fly directly at an incoming 
missile. The HQ-9—like the Patriot—would either explode as it nears the 
target or directly hit the incoming missile.<br />
Either way, the incoming 
target is either destroyed or knocked off its trajectory.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
Further, some sources suggest that the HQ-9—unlike its American and 
Russian contemporaries —uses active electronically scanned array radar 
technology.<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
