Product Description

The HJ-10, also known as “Red Arrow 10,” is an anti-tank missile developed by China’s NORINCO corporation. Equipped with a tandem high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, it can penetrate up to 1,400 mm of conventional steel armor, even when protected by explosive reactive armor. Its maximum operational range is 10 km, and it has the ability to lock onto a target either before or after launch.

The missile is characterized by its cylindrical body with a hemispherical nose cap. Designed with a standard aerodynamic layout, it features X-shaped wings that deploy after launch. Powered by solid propellant engines for both launch and cruise, it measures 1,850 mm in length, has a diameter of 165 mm, and weighs 43 kg at launch. Its cruising speed is 150 m/s, accelerating to 230 m/s during the final phase of its trajectory.

A notable feature of the HJ-10 is its advanced guidance system, which combines television or infrared (IIR) imaging, an inertial system, and a two-way fiber-optic data transmission channel. The target image is transmitted to the operator’s console, while control commands are sent back to the missile through the same channel. This system enables various applications, including “fire-and-forget,” command guidance, post-launch course correction, and target reacquisition. Future upgrades aim to replace the fiber-optic channel with a radio channel.

The HJ-10 can engage targets directly or from above, using different types of warheads. These options include a tandem HEAT warhead, capable of penetrating 1,200 to 1,400 mm of homogeneous armor, and a “penetrating core” warhead designed to strike targets from above.

When paired with the high mobility features of the MV3 launch vehicle, the system offers a combination of speed, agility, and firepower that can significantly impact the battlefield. The vehicle, based on an all-terrain chassis, is designed for rapid deployment and effective operation in various tactical environments, with the ability to engage both ground and aerial targets, including helicopters.
