Your Country official data is unreliable ? I have not read anything 800-1000mm for RHA in POF poster or data, If so share ..

Insurgents are using HJ-8 not NAG, therefore its irrelevant here ..

The army considers 600 m as the verified penetration where ERA is NOT included, it has anti ERA capability as mentioned in the details, however the original range given is 800-1000m for RHA,

you didnt reply my question, why Nag has such a small range?
Their websites have some funny errors usually, the PAC Kamra website was so hilarious that had to shut it down to re-write data, it still has some ridiculous errors :D

Circling round and round arent we? :D

Here is an example of website mistake...and i expect a response related to the deficiency in Nag's range in return :)


PAC website error, notice headings and their description

Regarding outrageous claims made by some manufacturers and countries, this is what a tanknet member had to say about POF data....
At some point purchaser specifications must be met by the manufacturers.

Your Country Official data is not reliable as your proved here, Post links and other data from reliable sources that is until your official data is corrected ..

Until then, Don't post what your official data does not suggest ..

Circling round and round arent we? :D

I'm afraid that's not a further development of HJ-8 serial, obviously that is more close to American BGM-71 ATGM(TOW family). PA should have this ATGM in service.



-----------------------------
another question is that this model might not be 'Laser Guided' but 'MMW command guidance...

I dont think TOW is ever displayed by GIDS or any subsidiary as a product of Pakistan. The pic is taken in Pakistan pavilion. He clearly mentioned it as a BS modification which is able to fire both HJ-8 and TOW. It must be remembered that Pakistan modified AH-1 cobras to fire both TOW, TOW II and BS missiles from the same missile launcher.




The pic is taken at IDEAS 2012, the guidance module is different in both...

Quite violent secondary explosion in this one, must have been hit straight to the ammo.

HJ-8 is optically tracked and wire-guided. Seems to me (from watching missile path in video) tracker should be remote from firing system. Is there such a system?

HJ-8 hit's a moving SAA tank. Driver manages to bail out but the flaming tank keeps going forward.

There is some really good ATGM footage coming from Syria.
