The Chinese HJ-10A ATGM system is a heavy-duty, fiber-optic guided anti-tank missile, and its launching vehicle has an elevating mast-type photoelectric sighting system that can detect and lock the hostile armored vehicles as far as possible. The Chinese HJ-10A anti-tank guided missile is connected to the launching vehicle with a fine fiber and has largest penetration depth in the its anti-tank guided missile family.

中国HJ-10A反坦克导弹系统是一种重型光纤制导反坦克导弹，其发射车具有升降桅杆式光电瞄准系统，可以尽可能探测并锁定敌方装甲车辆。中国HJ-10A反坦克导弹以细纤维与发射车相连，在其反坦克导弹系列中具有最大的穿透深度。

 

China began the development of HJ anti-tank missiles in the 1960s. "HJ-73" is the first generation of anti-tank missile equipped in China’s armed forces. Subsequently, HJ-8 and HJ-9 anti-tank missiles were developed and equipped in the armed forces. The HJ-10 multi-purpose weapon system made its debut on the V-Day parade held in Beijing. HJ-10 is the new-type long-range multi-purpose missile. It is a fiber-optic guided missile with strong concealment and anti-jamming capabilities. Control personnel can adjust the direction of the HJ-10 missile after launch, with the help of its real-time video monitoring function, in the event of false targets or high value targets. The maximum range of HJ-10 is ten kilometers. This is beyond the firepower scope of most tanks.

中国在20世纪60年代开始研制HJ反坦克导弹。“HJ-73”是中国军队装备的第一代反坦克导弹。随后，HJ-8和HJ-9反坦克导弹被开发并装备在军队中。HJ-10多用途武器系统在北京举行的国庆七十周年阅兵式上首次亮相。HJ-10是一种新型远程多用途导弹。它是一种光纤制导导弹，具有很强的隐蔽性和抗干扰能力。如果出现虚假目标或高价值目标，控制人员可以在HJ-10导弹发射后，借助其实时视频监控功能调整其方向。HJ-10的最大射程为10公里。这超出了大多数坦克的火力范围。

 

Since the 1990s, military scientists have begun to develop a completely new type of missile- the fiber-optic guided missile. At present, fiber-optic missiles are still a relatively new type of missile in the world. The main types of service are Israeli spiked missiles, German white-eyed giants, and the Chinese Red Arrow-10.

自20世纪90年代以来，军事科学家开始开发一种全新的导弹——光纤制导导弹。目前，光纤导弹在世界上仍是一种相对较新型的导弹。主要的服务类型是以色列的长钉导弹、德国的“独眼巨人”和中国的红箭-10。

 

The Red Arrow-10 anti-tank missile is an anti-tank missile independently developed by China. The entire launch equipment system weighs about 150 kg, of which the warhead weighs 43 kg. The range of the Red Arrow-10 anti-tank missile is very amazing, reaching 12 kilometers. Not only the range, but also the power of the Red Arrow-10 was very strong. It was exposed that the target was hit at a distance of four kilometers during the exercise, and the target was completely blown up in one hit.

红箭-10反坦克导弹是中国自主研发的反坦克导弹。整个发射设备系统重约150公斤，其中弹头重43公斤。红箭-10反坦克导弹的射程非常惊人，达到12公里。红箭-10的射程和威力都非常强大。据透露，在演习中，目标在四公里外被击中，目标在一次击中中被完全炸毁。

 

As a fiber-guided anti-tank missile or even a multi-purpose missile, the Red Arrow-10 missile can choose different types of maneuvering trajectories after launching. It can use straight trajectories to hit targets like ordinary missiles, and can also perform airborne requirements, maneuver, adjusted strike plan and own posture. It is precisely because of this feature that not only makes the interception of the Red Arrow-10 missile much more difficult, but also makes it capable of hitting low-altitude flying units, such as armed helicopters and other equipment.

作为光纤制导反坦克导弹甚至多用途导弹，红箭10导弹发射后可以选择不同类型的机动弹道。它可以像普通导弹一样使用直线轨迹打击目标，也可以执行空中要求、机动、调整打击计划和自身姿态。正是因为这个特点，不仅让红箭10导弹的拦截难度大大增加，而且还可以打击低空飞行单位，如武装直升机等装备。

 

The Red Arrow-10 missile carried a fiber optic spool weighing approximately 2 kg. Fiber-optic guided missiles each carry a roll of optical fiber. The bobbin of the optical fiber is at the tail of the bomb and flutters while flying. The length is the same as the maximum range. For example, the Red Arrow-10 missile has a range of 12 kilometers, so the missile has 12 kilometers of optical fiber. Speaking of this, many small friends questioned: What if the optical fiber breaks during the missile flight?

红色箭头-10导弹携带一个重量约为2公斤的光纤线轴。光纤制导导弹每个都携带一卷光纤。光纤的线轴位于炸弹的尾部，在飞行时摆动。长度与最大范围相同。例如，红箭-10导弹的射程为12公里，因此导弹有12公里的光纤。谈到这一点，许多小朋友提出质疑：如果在导弹飞行过程中光纤断了怎么办？

 

In fact, the optical fiber of the fiber-guided missile is a special optical fiber. On the basis of the ordinary optical fiber, a special composite material is added to increase the material strength of the optical fiber, so that the optical fiber is not easily broken during missile flight. In actual combat. So far, the fiber has not shown insufficient strength. Therefore, such concerns are actually unnecessary.

事实上，光纤制导导弹的光纤就是一种特殊的光纤。在普通光纤的基础上，添加了一种特殊的复合材料，增加了光纤的材料强度，使光纤在导弹飞行过程中不易折断。在实战中，到目前为止，纤维还没有表现出不充分的强度。因此，这种担忧实际上是不必要的。

 

But the weight of fiber per kilometer is 150 grams, and the range of Red Arrow-10 is 1.8 kilograms. In addition to the pay-off device, the total weight of the guidance transmission system must exceed 2 kilograms, which can not reduce the dead weight. Increasing the range of the missile has an adverse effect, so the maximum range of the fiber-optic missile generally does not exceed 12 kilometers. Israel’s spiked missiles, when developing long-range spikes with a range of 25 kilometers, cancelled the original fiber guidance mode and switched to a radio encrypted data link to transmit signals due to the weight of the fiber.

但是每公里纤维的重量是150克，红箭-10的光纤重量范围是1.8公斤。除放线装置外，导向传动系统的总重量必须超过2公斤，这不能减少自重。增加导弹射程会产生不利影响，因此光纤导弹的最大射程一般不超过12公里。以色列的长钉导弹在研制射程为25公里的远程长钉导弹时，取消了原来的光纤制导模式，并由于光纤的重量，切换到无线电加密数据链路来传输信号。

 

The HJ-10A ATGM system, commissioned in the Chinese PLA Army, is a newest member of China's export-oriented anti-tank missile family. The deployment of HJ-10 indicates that China's anti-tank missile technology is constantly catching up with the world. After having possessed the Hongjian-10 anti-tank missile for so many years, in fact, the Chinese Army’s field land-based air defense methods have long since broken away from the history of only anti-aircraft artillery and special surface-to-air missiles. Although the air defense capability of the Hongjian-10 anti-tank missile cannot be compared with general dedicated surface-to-air missiles, such a "came" can also threaten armed helicopters.

HJ-10A反坦克导弹系统在中国军队服役，是中国出口型反坦克导弹家族的最新成员。HJ-10的部署表明，中国的反坦克导弹技术正在不断赶上世界。事实上，在拥有“红箭-10”反坦克导弹这么多年之后，中国陆军的野战陆基防空方法早已摆脱了只有高射炮和特殊地空导弹的历史。虽然“红箭-10”反坦克导弹的防空能力无法与通用专用地对空导弹相比，但这样的“攻击”也可能威胁武装直升机。

 

Chinese military trade enterprise China North Industries Corp. (NORINCO) brought the Chinese HJ-10A (Red Arrow-10A) anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) system, which is extremely rare in the Middle East's weapon market, to the sixth International Defense Exhibition (IQDEX-2018) in Baghdad, Iraq, for the first time in March 2018. Iraqi media disclosed photos of Chinese HJ-10A ATGM system online. Unlike the HJ-10A ATGM system unveiled by the NORINCO during the Zhuhai Air Show in 2016, the HJ-10A ATGM system exhibited in the Middle East uses the export version “big 4X4 wheel” chassis. Compared with the tracked chassis version of HJ-10A ATGM system, the passability of the wheeled chassis one is apparently inferior, but the overall cost should be lower.

2018年3月，中国军贸企业中国北方工业集团公司（NORINCO）首次将极为罕见的中国HJ-10A（红箭-10A）反坦克导弹（ATGM）系统带到伊拉克巴格达举行的第六届国际防务展览会（IQDEX-2018）上的中东武器市场。伊拉克媒体在网上公开了中国H​​J-10A反坦克导弹系统的照片。与中国北方工业在2016年珠海航展上亮相的HJ-10A ATGM系统不同，此次中东展出的HJ-10A ATGM系统采用的是出口版“大4X4轮”底盘。与HJ-10A ATGM系统的履带底盘版本相比，轮式底盘之类的通过性明显逊色，但总体成本应该更低。

 

CM-502KG

 

At the 9th Zhuhai Airshow held in November 2012, a light air-to-surface missile designated as CM-502KG made its public debut. The HJ-10 based CM-502KG has an 11-kg warhead similar in size with that of AR-1, but its maximum range is more than twice that of AR-1, up to 25 km. The compact size of CM-502KG enable it to be carried by both the manned aircraft and heavy unmanned aircraft (though mostly the latter), while the lighter AR-1 is carried by smaller unmanned aircraft, as the staff of developer have claimed at the show. There are unconfirmed claims by Chinese military enthusiasts on the internet that CM-502KG is conceptually designed in the same class as Spike NLOS, but such claims has yet to be verified by official sources.

在2012年11月举行的第九届珠海航展上，一种被命名为CM-502KG的轻型空对地导弹首次公开亮相。基于HJ-10的CM-502KG有一个11公斤的弹头，其大小与AR-1相似，但其最大射程是AR-1的两倍多，高达25公里。CM-502KG的紧凑尺寸使其能够由载人飞机和重型无人飞机（尽管大多数是后者）携带，而较轻的AR-1则由较小的无人飞机携带，正如开发商的工作人员在展会上所声称的那样。中国军事爱好者在互联网上有未经证实的说法，即CM-502KG在概念上与以色列非瞄准线型“长钉”（Spike NLOS）设计在同一级别，但此类说法尚未得到官方消息来源的证实。

The CM-502 series is a new NLOS-type attack missile (not to be confused with the HJ-10 based CM-502KG) that seems to use fiber-optic guidance (not confirmed). It will work in conjunction with other NLOS missiles and loitering munitions such as the CM-501G/GA, CM-501XA, and CM-501X. According to photos uploaded, a new type of multi-purpose anti-tank missile, numbered CM-502, appeared at this Zhuhai Air Show, mounted on a domestic 4X4 off-road chassis. The missile is launched vertically and has a range of 25 kilometers. Similar to the Red Arrow 10, this missile can not only strike ground armored targets and fortifications, but also strike low-altitude helicopters and drones.

CM-502系列是一种新型非直瞄攻击导弹（不要与基于HJ-10的CM-502KG混淆），似乎使用光纤制导（未确认）。它将与其他非直瞄导弹和漫游弹药（如CM-501G/GA、CM-501XA和CM-501X）协同工作。根据上传的照片，一种新型多用途反坦克导弹CM-502出现在这次珠海航展上，安装在国产4X4越野底盘上。该导弹垂直发射，射程为25公里。与红箭-10类似，这种导弹不仅可以打击地面装甲目标和防御工事，还可以打击低空直升机和无人机。

 

HJ-10

 

HJ-10 (or "Red Arrow 10") is a Chinese ground-launched anti-tank missile developed by Norinco. It has a tandem high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, that may penetrate 1,400 mm (55 in) of conventional steel armour protected by explosive reactive armour. The maximum range is 10 km (6.2 mi), with pre- or post-launch lock-on.

HJ-10（或“红箭10”）是中国北方工业公司开发的一种地面发射反坦克导弹。它有一个串联的高爆反坦克（HEAT）弹头，可以穿透1400毫米（55英寸）由爆炸反应装甲保护的传统钢装甲。最大射程为10公里（6.2英里），发射前或发射后锁定。
