The Oriental Network And Exercise Ground reported on July 3: Recently, a synthetic brigade of the 72nd Group Army launched a synthetic battalion all-element combat shooting assessment in the hinterland of eastern Fujian. In the live video of China's military network -Bayi video, the Type 05 amphibious assault vehicle not only showed the whole process of loading and launching its artillery-launched missiles, but also made the 105 mm gun-launched missile model used by the Platon Army for the first time.

In the shooting assessment, officers and men skillfully used red arrow-73 anti-tank missiles, new 120-millimeter mortars and other equipment, and in the use of combat vehicle weapons, 30-millimeter guns, 105-millimeter armor-piercing shells, and 105-millimeter gun-fired missiles also appeared one after another. In the firing screen of the artillery-launched missile, the specific model of the "ADZ104A-105" is clearly displayed, which is also the first time that our army has publicly installed the gun-launched missile model of the unit. As a weapon between artillery shells and missiles, what are the characteristics of the artillery-launched missiles equipped by our army?

The so-called artillery-launched missiles, which can be simply understood as missiles fired with artillery barrels, can be used on guns on tank armored vehicles, or on self-propelled/towed body barrel guns. Taking armored units as an example, the use of artillery-launched missiles not only retains the characteristics of the original artillery system of tanks and other armored fighting vehicles with fast response and fierce firepower, but also expands its ability to accurately strike long-distance targets.

It should be pointed out that the technology of the mainland artillery missiles mainly comes from the Soviet Union, and the guidance and control principle of "laser beam guidance + three-point method guidance + duck rudder control" is also used in the same vein, and the warheads are also concentrated energy armor-breaking warheads. At the same time, combined with the mainland's own main gun system, a series of three kinds of gun-fired missiles including 100, 105 and 125 mm has been constructed, which can cover most of the needs of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks.

Taking the mainland foreign trade artillery missile GP105 as an example, we can see that the head of the projectile is equipped with two pairs of duck rudders, which are usually contained in the projectile body and can be ejected after firing, and these four duck rudders can control the attitude of the missile's pitch and yaw. The ADZ104A-105 gun-launched missile uses the same aerodynamic structure, which can maneuver as needed after firing, constantly correcting itself until it hits the target.

Previously, the CCTV military "Military Zero Distance" program has detailed the working principle of the mainland's domestic artillery-launched missile laser beam guidance, when the gunner aims at the target, the guidance equipment on the chariot will fire a laser to the target, after the cannon-fired missile is launched from the gun barrel, it will fly into the laser, and then, the sensors on the missile will sense their position in this laser, and control themselves to fly in the center of the beam as much as possible, the final effect is that the gunner points the laser wherever, the missile flies to where.
In terms of specific performance, according to the data released by the GP105 gun-launched missile of foreign trade, the ADZ104A-105 gun-launched missile has a maximum range of 5 kilometers, which exceeds all common conventional tank shells, and this distance is also farther than the range of anti-tank missiles used by many infantry. This means that in future operations, the Type 05 amphibious infantry fighting vehicle can first fire at the enemy outside the range of the opposing artillery, and can also carry out a "point hole" attack on the enemy's armored targets or fortifications outside the range of the opponent's anti-tank fire.
In addition to having a very high probability of hitting fixed targets, the ADZ104A-105 gun-launched missiles guided by laser beams also have the ability to attack moving targets and helicopter targets.

At present, some of the international artillery firing guides show the characteristics of a hundred flowers, such as Israel's "Rahat" series of artillery missiles, which use laser semi-active guidance technology, and its self-marking indicator device can be set in the launch system, or it can be placed externally, with the ability of "locking the target after launch" and "curved shooting to attack the top", with an effective range of more than 6000 meters.
