   The 9M113 Konkurs missile is increasingly commonplace in current and recent conflict zones, and represents a capable, long-range system for its age.

Swiss soldier with training Panzerfaust 3. The ammunition is the HL Pat 95 ("shaped charge catridge from 1995"), which has a warhead diameter of 124 mm instead of 110 mm; oddly enough all mentions of this ammunition I have seen cite either no penetration values or the same as used on the original 110 mm single-stage warhead (700 mm penetration). The HL Pat 95 was developed in Switzerland to defeat tanks with ERA.

Those are just rumors from internet analysts, the manufacturer and PLA themselves never claimed this.

 

Take it with a spoonful of salt.
