What makes this platform "5th Generation" ?

At this point, Pakistan should have developed its own version of Javelin/NLAW, but all we see if iterations of the same platform. There is a lack of real core R&D capabilities in Pakistan as demonstrated by many projects that Pakistan did a TOT on, but then was not able to further develop new contemporary platforms.

It's not a iteration it's a completely new missile and nothing like the HJ8/BS.

Also 5th generation is marketing jargon.

Development of the new version of apfsds DU round with enhanced penetration has been completed. I suspect it's based on the tungsten Sejjil apfsds they tested years back. Bad news for IA armor. DU rounds on average achieve 20-50mm more penetration compared to tungsten depending on other factors such as gun chamber pressure angle of fire and LOS among others. Will be standardized on all mbts. This thing could achieve well over 650mm at 0 degree at 2000m.
