China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) unveiled a new lightweight shoulder-launched 60 mm guided weapon system during the Army 2018, held in Kubinka, near Moscow, from 21 to 26 August.
The FN-M multifunction missile system was developed by the Shanghai Academy of Space Flight Technology, a CASC subsidiary.
