[Jigs]

^there are now several variants of the HJ-8 from A to L

You think this may be one of the upgraded variants ? Not alot of info about the test.

i believe so without having any knowledge of the test - one media report indicated (right or wrong) that these missiles were inducted in the 80's and now have been 'upgraded'

Didn't wish to discuss comparison!

Is this response certainly to Indian Anti-Tank Missile NAG trials?

YouTube - Indian army NAG Anti-Tank guided missile test firing from NAMICA

I would say this NAG is edge over Pakistan's Anti-Tanks Missiles
(shoulder by shoulder.)

Nag is a third generation "Fire-and-forget" anti-tank missile developed in India.

We have enough technology to produce 3rd Gen missile systems and as experts are mentioning 5,000 to 6,000 m of range, it is unlikely to be 2nd Gen. What to you say?

Islamabad: The Pakistan Army has carried out test firing of a new indigenous anti-tank missile from a site near Jehlum, about 100 kilometres east of the capital.

The test successfully met all trial parameters, Kyodo reported quoting a Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) press statement.

'Daily Times' quoting Pakistani Army officials claimed that with the successful test firing at the Tilla range, "Pakistan has taken an edge over the rivals in conventional warfare".

Kyodo said Khan Research Laboratory, named after disgraced nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, developed an anti-tank missile in the early 1990s using a remote-controlled, wire-guided system with a 3,000-metre range.But authoritative sources told Kyodo News the version of anti-tank missile tested yesterday is equipped with an automatic guidance system, without wires, and has a greater range.

No additional information about the new missile was given.

Earlier media reports had said Pakistan acquired and modified a Chinese anti-tank missile which it has named Bakhtar Shikan.

I really do not understand why some countries are only copien existing anti-tank systems. They should devellop something totally new with capacities to defeat the Israeli trophy system on a Merkava 4 tank or the Russian ARENA Active Protection System on a T90 tank.

Guys, any details? is it a third generation ATGM ??

my bad it says wire guided. might be HJ8L

 

[sergente rehan]

A good achievement by PA. Seems like it's better or equivalent to chinese HongJian 8C and U.S. Javelin. Correct me if i'm wrong but in range it's superior to both.

The missile tube and missile looks bigger in the picture.Do you confirm from any source?

 

[Akatsuki]

Job Well Done once again for the Pak Army

 

[monitor]

^^ Its the tube...

When missile is fired the tube fell behind.

Oh its seems very risky for soldiers sitting around . the jevelin does not have this kind of risk.

Not likely.....the tube ejects backward not side ways....

Telling them that the tube will fell behind is part of the training. However those who don't pay attention in training classes meet these kind of mishaps.

Make a thousand of these things, and launch them all at once on the approaching enemy. Watch them die in the rain of missiles.
