In the absence of SACLOS in top U.S.-style air defense systems, is it possible to add China’s FK-2000?It is known that the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain is located at the Juffair Naval Base, and it is currently protected by three FK2000 air defense systems.
This means that the United States and its allies have adopted Chinese-style equipment in certain military collaborations.
One of the main reasons for using Chinese-made equipment in this military cooperation between the United States and Bahrain is the shortage of Patriot air defense systems in the U.S. military.

Is it not already in the game?
I thought it was just added this update?
Do you mean add a US counterpart to the FK-2000, or add the FK-2000 to the US?
Add it to the U.S. air defense technology tree

The problem isn’t the lack of saclos in U.S. systems, it’s the horrible implementation of missile systems. IR and radar guided missiles can’t do anything to helis due to lack of rotor blade doppler returns and overperforming LDIRCM.
and just in general, long range SAMs should not be in the center of the battlefield like they are right now. they should be far away, maybe near the runway, or somewhere far off to the side of maps. multipathing and notching need a rework, as most modern missiles barely get affected by them.
and about this specific vehicle, why? this seems more like the local military providing them for U.S., but not really the U.S. operating it themselves.

Yes, you also mentioned military cooperation, but in fact, any collaboration between the United States and its allies would inevitably involve the U.S. gaining knowledge about the relevant technology of FK2000, and it indeed plays a role in protecting U.S. military bases overseas.
also called the gulf states are so insanely incompetent they only just now figured out that using patriots for everything instead of using their own dedicated shorad they bought is not a good idea, previously these fk-2000 were deployed elsewhere doing literally nothing. and no its completely unrelated to the US, this is a UAE Asset deployed to Bahrain.
theres nothing cutting edge about FK2000.
It is very cheap; even if one does not attempt to imitate, one will still seek to understand existing Chinese technologies. As the saying goes, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.’
It was not during the confrontation with Turkey’s air strikes that it shot down dozens of aircraft, including 7 drones and 1 transport plane.
For the USA to get the FK2000, there would have to be proof that the USA has operated one, at a reach trialing a unit.
Otherwise if we use vehicles deployed to bases as grounds to adding a vehicle to a different tree, the UK could get the F-15J iirc.

Then what is the purpose of his presence around your country’s base? Is it for decoration?
It is simply operated by army other than US for purposes of defense.

Then who are they protecting? Could it be that they are protecting me, who is far away in Xi’an, Shaanxi, China?
Wasn’t the original intention of air defense weapons to protect against air-to-ground strikes within a region?
How about just add the

His range is too long, and I do not believe that he would be willing to join a vehicle with such a range in the short term. Therefore, I proposed the Chinese-made FK2000 to compensate for the lack of capability in the American technology tree to strike certain extremely close-range targets and low-speed, rapidly departing targets.
Their allies? Ally can be tasked with protection of other allies.
Do czech units in latvia as part of NATO presence suddenly become latvian? Or do they suddenly become german because the mission is/was under bundeswehr command?
Do german patriots in slovakia suddenly become slovakian since they protect slovakian airspace?
