The HN-5 (Chinese: 红缨-5; pinyin: Hóng Yīng-Wǔ; lit. 'Red Tassel-5'; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-3) is a family of first generation Chinese man-portable air-defense systems (MANPAD) based on Soviet technology. The HN abbreviation is used to avoid confusion with the HY (Hai Ying, or Sea Eagle) series anti-ship missiles of the Silkworm missile family. The HN-5 series was developed into HN-6 and QW-1 missiles.
