The HJ-8 or Hongjian-8 (红箭-8 transliterated as Red Arrow-8) is a second generation tube-launched optically tracked wire-guided anti-tank missile system which was originally deployed by the People’s Liberation Army since the late 1980s. Pakistan produces this missile system under licence as the Baktar-Shikan at Kahuta Research Laboratories. It is able to defeat explosive reactive armour (ERA).
