Chinese SD-10A Sky Dragon Medium-Range Surface To Air Missile System

First concrete proof of the existence of the Chinese SD-10A Sky Dragon Medium-Range Surface To Air Missile System program. Surface Launched SD-10A is also known as DK-10 Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) which also forms medium range part of Chinese Lie Shou LS-II (Hunter II) Surface To Air Missile System. 

The DK-10 Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) has larger diameter which offers increased range of 50 km. Norinco is marketing the Sky Dragon Medium-Range Surface To Air Missile Air Defense System as a competitor to the HQ-16 / LY-80 Medium Range Surface To Air Missile. 

Sky Dragon Medium-Range Surface To Air Missile System is likely to be a lot more attractive option for countries like Pakistan which already operate PL-12/SD-10A Beyond visual range active radar-guided air-to-air missiles.
