This image shows a Chinese Type 70-series rocket being removed from its launch tube. The example in the picture is a high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) variant likely designed for export; other Type 70 HEAT variants are known, as is a bounding high explosive fragmentation (HE/FRAG) variant. This family of rockets is fired from the Type 70 and Type 70-1 shoulder-fired launchers. The each rocket is contained in a disposable launch tube which is attached to the rear of the launcher and discarded after firing. (ARES)
