Only Penetration 600 mm (Tandem Warhead) ?
Hmm the tank looks intact to me after the hit.
so what is the penetration of nag?Only Penetration 600 mm (Tandem Warhead) ?
so what is the penetration of nag?
what is good penetration level?
just asked out of interest.disappointed to see that even our heavy class atgm is still insufficientThis thread is not about NAG ATGM nor can be compared as its belong to Heavy class ATGM ..
Baktar Shikan is a medium class ATGM..
If you really looking for comparison then compare Lahat & Kornet which are more qualified here both have penetration of 800mm & 1000mm respectively ..
=======================
NAG has 800mm penetration from old sources ..
The good penetration level would be 1000mm of RHA for a HEAT warhead against modern tanks..

i have zero idea to make a discussion.let alone an argumentIf you have know about your own country stuff wouldn't ask me on first place, Insufficient or not its would be still useless to argue on with you ..
First know what your own capability then compare with others, 800mm from a tandam warhead is overkill for many modern tanks in this region ..
==============
For your help, Ask @Damian about ATGM capabilities & @ersakthivel about NAG ..
you only said 1000 mm is a good one,so i thought its of less use

thanks.is there any link to learn abouy tanks for starters?800mm is good, +1000mm is better, 800mm is according to old source, we dont know what is the penetration in current models..

in dfi i meant.thanks
Baktar Shikan
Anti-tank Guided Missile Weapon System
Baktar Shikan is a second-generation anti-tank missile weapon system which pursues the principle of optical aiming, IR tracking, remotely controlled and wire transmitted guidance signals. The system can quickly be dis-assembled into the following four sub-units, encased missile, tripod, goniometer and control box each weighing not more than 25kg thus making the system man-portable.
It can also be mounted on Cobra attack helicopters and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs). Its long range, penetration power and a powerful anti-jamming capability form a potent defence against armored targets.

:: GIDS - BAKTAR-SHIKAN ::
there are some members of HJ-8 ATGM family...
the original one : HJ-8A ...and the improved varients : HJ-8C, HJ-8E ,HJ-8L AKD-8(HJ-8B)
except the oldest one(HJ8-A), other models all have the Tandem Warhead fitted. the Noticeable features is the 'long nose' where a small front Charge is arranged. the TOT to Pakistan is the model based on the HJ-8E in PLA service.
note: the above demonstration is a 120mm Rocket grenade(PF98) which has the same structure
---------------------------
BTW...about the Penetration: you'd better understand that the small front charge is for detonating the ERA only and the main Charge accounts.
I can give a data of HJ-8A(1984) here:
Static armor-piercing test: 800 mm RHA
Dynamic armor-piercing test: 180mm/angle of 68 degrees
Brigadier Naveed Rahman from Pakistan Armoured Corps disclosed to Kanwa reporter that during the Yugoslavian Civil War, the Bakter Shikan ATM, a Pakistan version of HJ8 made in China, registered very satisfactory battle record. In that war, HJ8/ Bakter Shikan ATM achieved a over 90% of hits rate. This is the first time the Western reporters were informed officially that the HJ8 used in the Yugoslavian Civil War had been imported from Pakistan. Anti-tank expert from DR. A.Q. Khan Research Laboratories told Kanwa reporter that the whole turret of the T84 tank of Serbs has once been blasted off by HJ8/Shikan ATM at a distance of 2000m. But according to Pakistani expert, the shortcomings of HJ8 Series exposed in real field operation include excessive weight, operational requirement of two or more people, the unwieldy supporting stand, and its vulnerability in detecting in battlefield disguise. For this reason, NORINCO has recently developed its HJ8L ATM whose weight has been greatly reduced and structure of supporting stand much simplified.
if you mean the HJ-8L('L' stands for 'Light' ,not 'Laser') and the diameter of each varient is the same----120mmlaser guided version
so called ' 600mm' might be some kind of conversion data of the result of Dynamic armor-piercing test(something like 220mm RHA @68° incidence target in shooting range) or the website put the wrong info on it coz the basic version of HJ-8 has achieved 800mm of RHA at 0° incidence(Static) in 1984 and passed the national Test in the same year.the TOT to Pakistan is the model based on the HJ-8E in PLA service.
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,From your sources, 600mm is wih tandam warhead what you revived from GOCHICOM, In that case it is a degraded version ..
Same warhead comes with laser guided version, Its the same diameter there is no change in warhead, So your ATGM penetration level is at 600mm..
Now, If your GOP exported these to Rebels in middleast they are quite lethal for T-54/55 and T-72 without ERA ..
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 errorsYour view contradict to Dazzler views, As said ..
Doubt full regarding such details as other ammo in Pof data based are not calculated in such fashion & so on ..
