Thoughts about modular reloading pods for MRL?
congratulations China for catching up to the west 30 years later!why are all your threads like this?

>>61423112whiny bitch posting hours
>>61423128Imple--- you know what? I'm not going to bother finishing.
>>61423128Norks have enough artillery close enough to the DMZ to level most of the Seoul northern metro area.
>>61423112>30 years laterIt's closer to 45. MLRS prototypes were built before 1980
>>61423135>immediate seetheJust make a good thread for once, shillboi
>>61423090Implessive ! There. Now back to your cell and hope no one wants to buy your kidneys today.
>370mm rocketIt would be fucking scary if a rocket that size couldn't fucking reach taiwan. Also you have to park it on the beach for the 220km version to reach actual targets.
>>61423112>congratulations China for catching up to the west 30 years later!Russia still needs to get there so... Yeah, congrats to China for being the least retarded of its little gang ?
>>61423090They're still doing it wrong, fucking morons. The crane is meant to be built into the MLRS vehicle so that it can reload pods that have been left stored on the ground without a need for a support vehicle. Reloading them the chink way, using a truck with a crane to hoist them on to the MLRS vehicle, completely defeats the purpose of the modular pods. Fucking cargo cult retards.
>>61423173Actually It's 300km, since It's a copy of the Israeli PULS, which they "bought" the blueprints from an israeli engineer. That's why It uses that weird 370mm caliber rocket instead of 400mm.
>>61423257Pic related for those of you who might not know what I'm talking about. There's a crane that comes out the back and can pick up the pods. Himars uses the same sort of crane, scaled down to one pod instead of two.
>>61423276>>61423257They do have It for the Export model, the SR-5
>>61423128>>61423090Implessive
>>61423257>>61423276gonna add onto this guy and say the himars does have the crane integrated, but the resupply vehicles also have cranes(they use their cranes to drop pods at a designated point, then himars drives over, picks up a pod and loads it)>t. deployed with a himars battalion13Ms are all fuckin retards though I just gotta put that out there
>>61423090Essential. A necessary adaptation for Soviet rocket stockpiles for post-soviet countries. China has already done it, and exactly enough time has passed since this was last a popular topic on here and on you tube for Ukraine to suddenly have such a thing deployed they we're going to find out about soon.Because this is one of those threads, isn't it?
>>61426206Well that is flexibility in deployment strategy in regards to counter battery. I rate it. Particularly because I'm too stupid to think of that myself
>>61426241this is literally just a chinkshill spamthread. it shows up the exact same time as other low effort threads that they abandon nearly immediately
>>61426299>Not interested in a thread>whine about shillsGIT OUT THEN
>>61427397just stop making such low quality threads, that's all you have to do
>>61427397>be low quality faggot>make low quality thread>attracts low quality postersChange starts with you, Anon.
>>61423276God that is the most American shit, and I mean that in the best way possible. Such an embedded understanding of the power of maintaining logistical supremacy that your rocket artillery contains its own loading support vehicle. Top shit.
>>61428577It doesn't take a genius to realize that rocket artillery isn't useful if it can only fire once a day. The reason the chinks don't have it is because of a cargo cult mentality that if you can make something look the same, it will perform the same.
>>61423112>the westOnly USA is worth mentioning

>>61423090Link to the video pls? Couldn't find it
>>61431015I sometimes wonder if losing half the rocket load is worth being faster to reload.
>>61432311Rocket artillery's at it's most vulnerable when reloading. Halving the time it takes to reload, means more fire missions and more safety. It also means less logistical footprint and an easer way to hide reloads around a mission area. You can just drive around with a flat bed dropping fresh reloads in barns, and thickets wherever you want hours before your launcher is ever going to be in the area to pick them up.From their performance in Ukraine, it seems like the quicker 6 pack launchers are fantastic for strategic ball flicking going after high value stuff near the front. Save the bigger MLRS systems for "fuck that entire grid" level actions from safer supply lines.
>>61430233my truck!
>>61432311Different doctrinal uses. HIMARS is designed around being a more mobile platform which is exactly how it's being employed. It shoots, it scoots. Lacking a second load doesn't matter if sticking around to shoot it, or to load it, is going to get an orgy of FPV drones up your ass.Grid square removal system comes into its own when you have a more permissive environment behind the front. If you can loiter in one place longer safely then the greater potential firepower becomes more useful.
Looks like a copy of the Uragan-1M which was developed in the 90s to compete with HIMARS. They tested it in 2012 and was to enter service in 2017 (lol) and was said to be delivered to the battlefield last year.
>>61423090IMPLESSIVE!VERY CYNG KA LUY KHWN CHANG KY LANG LU
>>61423090
>>61423276This is logi design done right.>can dump missiles on the ground wherever >launcher can load itself from the ground>any vehicle that can get a missile pod to the ground without dropping it will work for deliveryA tilt tray truck can support these launchers, no crane, no specialist shit, just slide them to the ground and leave the rest to the launcher.
>>61436149Yeah, it seems obvious when you see a vehicle doing it but integrating that capacity instead of requiring a paired support platform does a ton to simplify supporting them in the field.
