China’s ‘Drone Killer’ SHORAD System Armed With Missiles & Gatling-Style Guns. Designated as the Type 625E AA Gun Missile Integrated Weapon System, the air defense system is jointly developed by China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC) and China North Industries Group Corporation or Norinco. CSGC and Norinco are involved in developing many homegrown weapon systems showcased at this year’s Zhuhai Air Show, and Type 625E appears to be one of them. Based on the images of the air defense system, the Type 625E short-range air defense system (SHORAD) appears to be an 8×8 vehicle-mounted self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and surface-to-air missile system. The turret has a sizeable Gatling-style cannon with a distinctive look, which according to Chinese media reports, is a six-barreled 25mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. The vehicle is armed with four canisterized anti-aircraft missiles on each turret’s side. The exact missile type used on the system is unclear, but based on the general appearance of the 4-unit missile launcher, reports suggest the missile system used could be FB-10 short-range types reportedly designed by the China Aerospace Long-March International (ALIT) company. The FB-10 was displayed at the Zhuhai Air Show in 2016, mounted on a 6×6 Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) with a phased array radar, optical sensor, and eight missile tubes. In 2021, an improved variant called the FB-10A was unveiled during the Egypt Defense Exhibition in a similar configuration to the 2016 showcase. In 2021, its chassis was confirmed to be a Dongfeng Mengshi 6×6 light tactical vehicle. Reports also suggest an FB-20 variant of the system, but there is little confirmed information about this derivative. The FB-series missiles can reportedly engage airborne targets at a maximum range of ten kilometers and an altitude between 15 to 5,000 meters. The technical specifications of the FB-10 missile type are said to be equivalent to China’s Hongqi-10 (HQ-10) surface-to-air missile system, also designed by ALIT for maritime environments. The HQ-10 reportedly uses an advanced rolling projectile. It is equipped with an infrared homing seeker and radar seekers, either passive or semi-active, which provide the missile with ‘dual-mode’ guidance capabilities. In some of the images of the Type 625E, radar is also visible behind the missile system, which will likely support the system’s anti-aircraft role by detecting and tracking low-flying aircraft like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, and cruise missiles. In a promotional video featuring the Type 625E and other Chinese combat vehicles, the system can be seen engaging several drones simultaneously through an infrared camera feed, which could mean that Type 625E is also equipped with infrared optical sensors.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
