Just read something interesting: HJ-10 may have a "modern" modification, replacing the rocket engine with an electric motor, greatly reducing the cost and speed, but increasing the loitering time and range, basically a loitering munition

So I think the same is true for HJ-13. "Vehicle-universal missile" not only means that one missile can be adapted to multiple vehicles, but also that one vehicle's launcher can be adapted to multiple missiles. The next gen combat platform is not only universal in chassis, but also in launchers and missiles. CM series exhibited at the Zhuhai Air Show has demonstrated this development trend.

Very interesting read about the HJ 10 bsdnf.
But does it still retain the fiber optic wire, or is it wireless?

It's just VLS launchers agian this time on land vehicles. But range increases are improbable, HJ-10 is limited by the fiber cable spool instead of rocket motor. New missiles of similar size that are wireless can already reach 50km range, which is too far away for propeller munitions to strike in reasonable time envelopes.
