Эта ракета - классического полуавтоматического наведения с командной линией миллиметрового диапазона. Ни малейшего намека на самонаведение у нее нет, в голове находится стандартный штыревой контактный сенсор и больше ничего.

То есть это фото обычной Red Arrow 9, а не "А", о которой идет речь в статье.

China markets improved Red Arrow 9 missile

China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) is marketing an enhanced pedestal-mounted version of its Red Arrow long-range anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) system designated the Red Arrow 9A.
It was first revealed in 2002 when NORINCO released an artist's impression of a new pedestal-mounted version of a Red Arrow 9 installed on a US AM General High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle chassis.
It has now been tested and installed on an Italian Iveco 40.WM 4 x 4 1,500 kg cross-country chassis. This is manufactured in China as the Nanjing NJ2046 High Mobility Vehicle by the Nanjing Iveco Motor Corporation: a joint venture between the Nanjing Motor Corporation and Iveco of Italy.
The Red Arrow 9A uses a new millimetre-wave semi-active command-to-line of sight (SACLOS) guidance system. Mounted on the left side of the pedestal is the optical tracker with the dish-type millimetre- wave command link being mounted forward and below. The complete system - the 4 x 4 cross-country vehicle, the launcher and reserve missile - weighs 2,800 kg. If necessary, the tripod-mounted system can be dismounted for deployment away from the vehicle.
According to NORINCO, the Red Arrow 9A missile uses an optical tracker and millimetre-wave command link to provide flight course corrections. A gunner detects and tracks a target using the day/night sighting system that establishes the line of sight from the launch platform to the target.
Once the missile has been launched, the angular deviation between the missile and the line of sight is measured by a TV goniometer. Corrective commands are encoded and transmitted to the missile's flight control unit.
This sends information to the four control fins that manoeuvre the missile until it hits the target.
The thermal sight, when fitted, enables targets to be detected at a range of over 4,000 m and engaged at 3,000 m.
The maximum range of the missile is 5,000 m. It is fitted with a tandem high-explosive anti-tank warhead to defeat targets fitted with explosive reactive armour (ERA). According to NORINCO this will penetrate 320 mm of conventional steel armour at an angle of 68º protected by ERA. The missile has a diameter of 152 mm and weighs 37 kg in its tube.
China has recently started marketing new types of warheads, including thermobaric ones, for its guided and unguided anti-tank weapons. It is considered probable that a thermobaric warhead will be offered for the Red Arrow 9 in the future.
When compared to earlier generation Red Arrow 9 systems, the new pedestal-mounted system is lighter and better suited to rapid deployment forces.
Its advanced millimetre-wave guidance system also offers a number of operational advantages and is claimed to be difficult to jam.
The baseline Red Arrow 9 ATGW has been in service with the People's Liberation Army for some time, installed on a 4 x 4 version of the WZ 551 6 x 6 series armoured personnel carrier.
This vehicle has a roof-mounted pod with four missiles in the ready-to-launch position. These are positioned either side of the day/thermal sighting device. Once the missiles have been launched, new missiles are loaded automatically from under armour with another eight carried in the hull.
The method of guidance of the first Red Arrow 9 version to enter service is laser SACLOS.
