Description

The HJ-9 entered service in the late 1990s and was first revealed during the national day military parade held in Beijing on 1 October 1999. The missile was claimed to have an armor penetration capability of 1,200mm RHA, which means that it can penetrate the front armor of most modern MBT in current service. The Hong Jian 9 in service with the PLA is carried on a 4X4 WZ550 armored personnel carrier (APC) vehicle.

The WZ550 APC-mounted Hong Jian 9 system operated by a crew of three men, has an integrated weapon station containing an observation/fire-control unit and four tube missile launchers. When the vehicle is in travelling mode, the station can be retracted back to inside the troop compartment. There are four ready-to-launch missiles on the weapon station and eight spare missiles carried inside the vehicle. The station has an elevation from +10 to -10 degrees with +/-200 degree traverse. The fully automated weapon station is controlled by an operator inside the vehicle. The vehicle has a combat weight of 13.75t, and is powered by a 320hp turbo-charged diesel. The maximum road speed is 95km/h.
