Introducing the Top 5 Rocket Artillery Systems in the World

Rocket artillery is a type of artillery system that uses rocket explosives as the main projectile. The use of rocket artillery dates back to medieval China where devices such as fire arrows were used (mostly used as a psychological weapon). Fire arrows were also used in multiple launch systems and transported via carts. First true rocket artillery was developed in India by the Kingdom of Mysore. In the late nineteenth century, due to improvements in the power and range of conventional artillery, the use of early Military rockets declined; they were finally used on a small scale by both sides during the American Civil War. Modern rocket artillery was first employed during World War II, in the form of the German Nebelwerfer family of rocket ordnance designs, Soviet Katyusha-series and numerous other systems deployed on a smaller scale by the Western allies and Japan. In modern use, the rockets are often guided by an internal guiding system or GPS in order to maintain high accuracy. The recent ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has shown the importance of rocket artillery systems in modern warfare, which are the weapons that have the full capability to change the direction of wars.

According to Military Watch, multiple rocket launchers since World War II have become an effective method of conducting long-range bombardment beyond the reach of conventional artillery systems.

Rocket Artillery Systems have played an important role in many recent major conflicts including the Syrian War and the ongoing Russia-Ukrainian conflict. Let’s have a look on the five most powerful rocket artillery systems in the world today.

The first is the Chinese PHL-16 truck-mounted self-propelled multiple rocket launcher (MRL) system. It is in active service with the People’s Liberation Army Ground Force since 2019, PHL-16 has put China at the forefront in the field of rocket artillery systems with the ability to deploy large-sized 750mm, 370mm and 300mm rockets, providing maximum striking range up to 500km.

These advanced rocket artillery systems are deployed from 8×8 wheeled mobile launchers, forming combinations of six launchers and several loader vehicles. PHL-16 has been put into operation and affirmed its superiority against leading Chinese self-propelled howitzers such as PLZ-05A, PLZ-52.

Iпcredible Velocity: Uпveiliпg the Astoпishiпg Wire Rope Splice Method iп a Remarkable Maпυfactυriпg Process (Video).

The process of maпυfactυriпg iпdυstrial wire ropes is both iпtricate aпd fasciпatiпg, bυt perhaps the most impressive aspect of it is the fast wire rope splice method υsed to joiп the iпdividυal wires together. Iп this article, we will delve iпto the details of this amaziпg maпυfactυriпg process. Iпdυstrial wire ropes are made υp of mυltiple straпds of wire, which are twisted together to form a stυrdy, flexible cable. To joiп these straпds together, a process called spliciпg is υsed. Traditioпal spliciпg methods iпvolve paiпstakiпgly weaviпg each straпd together by haпd, which is both time-coпsυmiпg aпd labor-iпteпsive. However, the fast wire rope splice method revolυtioпizes this process, allowiпg for rapid spliciпg with little maпυal labor. The key to this method is a special machiпe that is υsed to twist the iпdividυal wires together with iпcredible speed aпd precisioп. First, the wires are fed iпto the machiпe, which grips them tightly aпd begiпs to twist them tog...

The helicopters that submarines are most wary of are these ones (Video)

Image
Anti-Submarine Helicopters use specially-designed sensors and weapon systems to singlehandedly find, track, and even destroy submarines . One of the biggest fears of submarines are specially designed military helicopters developed with anti-submarine warfare capabilities. Such aircraft have grown enormously in the latest years. But how does a helicopter of this type work, and why are the most sophisticated products so efficient in their role? First of all, anti- submarine warfare helicopters  serve in naval environments, while they mainly operate on vessels (with a suitable hangar), alone, or with one more to two other similar aircraft. Their role is clear: anti-submarine warfare helicopters serve as aircraft that search, detect and track enemy submarines and underwater vehicles. Many of the most modern helicopters of this type can perform attack operations, although the payload limits its firepower. There are secondary tasks and missions that these aircraft can compl...
