What are all those buttons for? Setting airburst modes?

Review after a month: This is probably still the HJ-10, but with an improved wing folding design. The original version of the HJ-10 wings take some space in the box and unfold from front to back after launch. If the wings is folded close to the body and rotating open like the HJ-12 and many advanced ATGMs, it can save a lot of space.

GAM-100 has been confirmed to be equipped as HJ-12 as well, but it uses the original HJ-12 launcher. There was a rumor that HJ-12 has a low-cost version, should be refer to GAM-100.
Its range and weight are inferior to the original HJ-12, but its high-thrust booster appears to provide higher velocity, although it produces a noticeable trail.

Supposed used by RSF in Sudan. UAE is reselling everything…
From the video footage, the missile that was launched did not look like the HJ12 in appearance
It could be a HJ-12, in the sense that there are clearly four mid body fins that fold out and it is a soft launch missile with a top attack profile.
The quality of the video however means we can't really differentiate it from other similar weapons like the Korean Raybolt
There is another suspected sighting. Unfortunately launcher is not visible due to potential UAE opsec.
