Seems to be the Chinese equivalent of our Bhargavastra.
Bhargavastra has range of 2.5 km.
This system has smaller quad packed missile with 5-6km range
And larger single packed missile with 12km range.
Total 24 canister.
Smaller missile has twice the range and is longer than bhargavastra.
China builds new air-defence site near India border, satellite images reveal
Satellite imagery shows a new Chinese air-defence complex taking shape, comprising command and control buildings, barracks, vehicle sheds, munition storage, and radar positions. But the most intriguing feature of this facility, experts say, is a set of covered missile launch positions, believed...
The post above is just the tip of the iceberg. The PLA has been upgrading its infrastructure and facilities (SAM sites included) for the past decade. Steadily the Chinese have started to up the border game to a whole new level. I do hope our MoD babus check SAT images once in a while.

China’s VN22 6x6 armored vehicle appears at Uzbekistan's Military-Technical Institute
Uzbekistan evaluates China’s VN22 6x6 armored vehicle at a military institute as part of ongoing ground forces modernization efforts.

Uzbekistan has possibly begun evaluating the Chinese VN22 6x6 armored fighting vehicle after it was observed at the Military-Technical Institute in January 2026.
As reported by The Dead District on January 20, 2026, a Chinese-made VN22 6x6 armored fighting vehicle was spotted inside Uzbekistan’s Military-Technical Institute, possibly indicating the start of technical evaluation. The vehicle’s presence at a research facility suggests assessment of mobility, protection, internal layout, and systems integration, following previous acquisitions of Chinese air defense systems.
As the vehicle was positioned within a research institute rather than at an operational unit, the picture is consistent with the assessment of mobility, protection, internal layout, and systems integration. If achieved successfully, Uzbekistan could consider the approach followed for the Turkish-made Ejder Yalcin 4x4, which is based on local production via licensed manufacturing. The VN22 is part of a family of export-oriented wheeled armored vehicles developed and produced by Norinco and first publicly shown in 2021 at the 13th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition. This evaluation could also be linked to Uzbekistan’s broader modernization trajectory, which has included the introduction of Chinese HQ-7B and HQ-12 air defense systems.
The VN22 entered production in 2021 and is said to have been in service with the Chinese Army since 2023. The standard configuration specifies a crew of three and seating for up to eight passengers, mainly for infantry transport and combat support roles. Armament options include a 30 mm autocannon in the IFV configuration, while the VN22B assault gun variant mounts a 105 mm cannon compatible with standard NATO 105 mm ammunition. Secondary weapons include two HJ-12 anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), and, for the VN22B, a QJC-88 12.7 mm heavy machine gun with a Type 86 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. Mobility features include a wheeled 6x6 suspension layout, supported by all-wheel steering and a semi-active suspension system with adjustable ride height, allowing the VN22 to possess a maximum road speed exceeding 110 km/h and a payload capacity of 7.5 tonnes
I suppose that's the only way they can show discontent without being court marshalled

A detailed article regarding the situation at present. A lot of infographics and stats have been listed.
He has not linked his source material. The layout is pretty interesting. If there is doctrine translation document, it would be the best material to have a look into this implementation.
Our upcoming Rocket-Force would be a rather good counter against these nearby enemy military bases, IMO.
I am surprised that there was no initiative to create one earlier. To be honest with you, the response/counter measures run way too delayed.

Ultimately, they still had to copy the T-14 tank. They should have just copied it from the start, saving themselves several years of wasted time. How arrogant! In the end, they still had to weld roll cages onto the tanks.
