Historical profile
Developed in the 1990s as an evolution of the Chinese Type 75, itself based on the Soviet KPV, to equip PLA light infantry units with an anti-helicopter and anti-vehicle weapon.
Adopted in 2002 with the QJG-02 designation, it is lighter than previous models thanks to extensive use of aluminum alloys and composites.
Mounted on a three-legged tripod carriage with detachable wheels and an AA sight, it can be carried by just a few crew members.
