Design
The KN-06 is a long-range SAM that bears resemblance to the Russian S-300 and Chinese FT-2000. Imagery of missile launch tubes shows they are larger but shorter than the S-300's missiles, with each launcher truck holding two or three. The KN-06 is apparently capable of hitting targets up to 150 kilometres (93 mi) away. The system is equipped with a phased array radar. A test launch occurred in June 2011.[1][2]
