The vehicle in the image is a transporter erector launcher (TEL) for a surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, specifically the HQ-9 system. The HQ-9 is a Chinese long-range air defense system developed by China Precision Machinery Import-Export Corporation (CPMIEC). It’s similar in concept and role to the Russian S-300 and American Patriot systems.

Key features that identify it as an HQ-9 TEL:

Large vertical launch tubes, typically arranged in two rows.

Mounted on a heavy, multi-axle wheeled chassis.

Used for launching long-range missiles for intercepting aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles.


Let me know if you want a comparison with other missile systems like the S-300 or Patriot.
