The FK-2000 is a Chinese short- and medium-range air defense system developed by the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) for export. It was first unveiled at the 2021 Zhuhai Air Show. Mounted on an 8×8 all-terrain chassis, the system has a turret behind the cab that houses the radar and armament. The armament consists of two 30-mm cannons and 12 launchers. The system can intercept aircraft as well as targets such as cruise missiles or drones. Buyers of the FK-2000 include the UAE, Chad, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Turkmenistan. Since 2025, the system has been used in various conflicts on the Arabian Peninsula.
The FK-2000 was introduced in Update 2.59 "Sky Odyssey". This Chinese anti-aircraft system is nearly identical to Russia’s Pantsir and is distinguished by its powerful cannon armament, radar with a phased-array antenna, and optical detection system. The package includes 12 FK-2000 surface-to-air missiles with a range of 26 km under ideal conditions. Thanks to its wheeled chassis, the vehicle can quickly take up or change positions. The system's most significant drawbacks are its enormous size and lack of armor.
