AG-300/M series Multi-Purpose Air-to-Ground Missile
Introduction
First shown in 2016 Zhuhai Air Show. AG-300 Series Modular Air-to-Ground Missile is designed and manufactured for integrated reconnaissance and striking operation purpose. It can be loaded on multi-platforms(UAVs, helicopters, fighter aircrafts and other carriers). The missile is equipped with the semi-active laser seeker, infrared imaging seeker and the millimeter- Wave radar seeker, and various kinds of warheads to strike buildings and moving vehicles in a high speed. It features a high maneuverable capability in a wide range of launching airspace to strike various targets with high accuracy in an extensive attack envelope, its great maneuverability capable to attack high speed (120km/h) moving target.
After years in 2024 Zhuhai Airshow, we finally meet the IIR version of the family, AG-300A/M.
The display board information also clarifies its ability to expand to infrared imaging and millimeter wave radar seeker. Most of the exhibited AG-300M are laser seeker with sharper front-end, so the AG-300A/M exhibited at the 2024 Zhuhai Airshow is infrared imaging seeker version, currently MMV version not seen yet.
Usage in Battle
As a main export product of CASIC, SAL version AG-300/M is widely exported and used with Chinese drones, including Pakistan, Nigeria, and many other countries. AG-300/M missile acquired great success in fighting terrorists with its huge charge and long range in recent years.

Performance & Ability
AG-300M was exhibited together with Z-10ME/Wing Loong 2 and mounted on Z-11WB, and the display board information clearly stated that it can be used as helicopter ammunition, so it’s no problem for Z-10ME and other Chinese helis to use it.
Influence in Game
The IIR version AG-300A/M provides new FNF choices, achieves LMUR’s performance with a much smaller weight. AG-300/M series’ combination plans of IIR/SAL seeker and HEAT/HE warhead can also provide Top Chinese Heli with more diversified play style.
