Comparison with analogues
The Mistral and Type 91 MANPADS are currently the only other 2 land-based and vehicle launched missiles. Performance-wise, HN-6 is very similar to Type 91 in many aspects and it shines over the explosive mass and acceleration. While Mistral shines over HN-6 in basically all aspects_ on the other hand, HN-6 is also the only land-based and vehicle launched MANPADS that doesn't come with proximity fuse so it might not be enough to deal with fast-moving and careful jets.
