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
As a toptier american player
No…

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.
