QW-11

QW-11 is a development of QW family that is specifically designed to engage terrain hugging cruise missiles, while retaining the capability of engaging low-flying aircraft. QW-11 was first revealed at Zhuhai Air Show in 2002 and many domestic Chinese media sources claim that it is at least equal to, and possibly better than, FIM-92B. A new combined impact and proximity fuze is developed to provide better capability against cruise missiles.
