 Although the missile shares similarities to its predecessor, HJ-73, in terms of the appearance, the major difference is a probe on the tip of the missile which serves as the tandem warhead of the missile, and thus gives it an whopping overall penetration of 800 mm RHA within its firing range. In addition, it is a SACLOS (mouse-controlled) missile that gives players more control over its guidance.

 While there were some improvements over the older models, this missile still suffers from a relatively low velocity (120 m/s, a little improvement over the HJ-73's 115 m/s); which means at longer ranges, the enemy might have some time to react over your missile by eliminating the player or the missile itself.

+During the late 1960s was the Sino-Soviet border conflicts, especially at Zhenbao /Damansky Island where Mainland Chinese [[T-62 545 (China)|captured a T-62]] from the Soviet Border Troops, PLA found they were in the lower hand in terms of anti-armor weaponry, especially in ATGM (which, there was none in Mainland China); but a long-time friend of Mainland China- North Korea (DPRK) provided some 9K11 Malyutka (AT-3 Sagger)  missiles samples for them and Romania later provided another batch of samples for the Mainland in 1973, they started the story of this old yet sufficient missile's journey in Mainland China service.

 HJ-73E (Chinese: 红箭-73E) is a tandem-warhead [[Anti-tank guided missiles|ATGM]] based on the HJ-73 (which is a clone of the Soviet's [[9M14]] ATGM found on [[BMP-1 (Family)|BMP-1]]), first introduced in the 1990s. It changes the guidance method from the original MCLOS to SACLOS, along with enhanced penetration capabilities.
