Any confirmation that what is the ATGM being used by the Type 19 IFV? I have heard various claims of HJ-12/13/16.
As per my understanding, HQ-13 is larger in size similar to HQ-10, and HQ-16 is supposedly the new generic ATGM for IFV replacing HQ-73. In other words, Type 19 IFV is likely using HQ-16?

How did you go from HJ (ATGM) to HQ (SAM)?

Oops, I was posting in the SAM thread so I must have gotten HJ and HQ mixed up. Thanks for point out. Yes, I was asking which ATGM is used by Type 19 IFV, HJ-12/13/16?
Likely HJ-13, indicated by the tube size and suspected datalink antenna on the turret front, which it shares with the new airborne ifv and mengshi launcher.
