An anti-tank missile detachment from a brigade of the 74th Group Army deployed to the Gobi Desert for a live-fire exercise using HJ-10 anti-tank guided missiles, testing rapid response, coordinated operations, and precision strike under long-range maneuver conditions. This is standard combined-arms readiness training; it documents the 74th Group Army's continued integration of the HJ-10 — a fire-and-forget, multi-platform ATGM with standoff range — into brigade-level live-fire cycles, but the article provides no detail on opposing force, target set, or exercise control that would indicate a capability shift.

An anti-tank missile detachment assigned to a brigade with the Chinese PLA 74th Group Army recently conducted a long-range maneuver to the Gobi Desert for a live-fire drill. Using powerful HJ-10 Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) systems, the drill tested the troops' capabilities in rapid response, coordinated operations, and precision strikes. (Video Editor: Zhang Jinwen)
