And I am not saying that, if you look at my post I did not deny that the new ATGM is man portable. What I am contending is that it can be used in the same effect if not manner like the Javelin which the OP contended makes the HJ-12 obsolete.
1)The HJ-12/Javelin offers a capability to take out the MBTs without the need to set up like a conventional ATGM, at the cost of range and safety.
2)This new ATGM, at least in this configuration, offers the capability for infantry to safely take out armor from a distance while still remaining man-portable. But it cannot be fired like a Javelin, which is the whole point of my contention.
Looking back at your post, I'm not sure how to interpret this part below, apart from the idea that you are saying you believe this missile is not man portable?
Or, are you saying there's something different between an "ATGM designed to be used by foot soldiers" and "ATGM that are designed to be man portable"?
Because again, that seems like a very arbitrary categorical separation where there is no reason to be one.
There is a difference between a ATGM designed to be used by foot soldiers and ATGM that are designed to be man portable. The former is intended to be used by soldier on the ground in mobile squads where the option of "hiding behind a mountain" and shooting a ATGM is neither practical or optional all the time.
As for your arguments, my counters, are that:
1) the primary benefit of HJ-12/Javelin is in their range and in their fire and forget capability, and improved range from legacy systems like M47 or MILAN. Whether they lack a tripod or not is relatively minor, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing missiles like Spike MR competing with Javelin in the past (again, Spike MR lacks NLOS capability, and includes a tripod -- aka it's basically a Javelin but with a tripod) in various tenders.
2) the benefit of this new ATGM and weapons like MMP, is that they offer even greater range than the likes of HJ-12/Javelin while offering NLOS capability as well.. and in the case of MMP, is slightly heavier and requires slightly more set up to use, but still very much man portable and usable by light infantry. The ability or inability to be "fired like Javelin" is not very consequential. More relevant is total weight, and being 3-4 kg heavier is no big deal -- or at least, they remain in the same weight class.
