That's a disappointment. One would think that since the HJ-9 is already in the class of the TOW, the HJ-10 would be something different. Maybe something that is portable with top-attack capability for the individual infantryman, similar to the Javelin.

Where did challenge say the HJ-10 was like the TOW? And from what I've heard isn't the HJ-10 supposed to be an equivalent to the hellfire?

i guess i misread the OP. now that you mentioned it, i do remember seeing a picture of a missile purported to be the HJ-10 being fired from a test rig mounted on a crane on the back of a truck.

What??? How in the world could a tank gun possibly shoot down an antitank missile? Richard, your penchance for unsubstantiated hyperbole surprises me time and again.

I think the Sagger ATGM has similar max range (~3km) as the M256 120 mm gun. So the Sagger firing team or vehicle must be exposed to within the M1A1's gun range to engage the target.

Newer ATGM's have 5km-10+km range and will out-shoot most MBT's main guns in open terrain. But at the rate that our population is growing, I suspect many future engagements will be in urban area where inexpensive systems like the RPG-29 will cause more headaches to the tank crew. In the short 2006 Lebanon conflict, the Hezbollah mission-killed over 50 Israeli tanks. That's a better record than the Iraqi army!
