Deployment
AFT-10, equipped on the ZBD-04A anti-tank platform, is the ATGM version of the HJ-10 platform and it is the first one to be developed. Eight missiles and a retractable sensor mast is mounted on the ZBD-04, with sensors including a thermal camera, TV camera and a laser range finder.[2] A millimeter-wave radar system is mounted at the front-right corner of the vehicle to improve all-weather operation capability.[3]
