In recent years, with the development of military science and technology in various countries, various advanced "black technology" weapons have continued to emerge. Among them, the Yobaron rocket launcher is the most high-profile and strange weapon. Since its inception, it has been known as the most powerful rocket launcher in the world, and this is because it can fire 240 rockets in a short period of time, covering an extremely wide area! This article will introduce this unique weapon system in detail from the performance, application, and advantages of Yobaron rocket artillery.
Yobaron rocket launcher
The Yobaron rocket launcher is a multiple rocket launcher designed and manufactured by the United Arab Emirates, and due to its ferocity of firepower, it has also been given the title "Saturn" or "Monty Python". Its length, width, dead weight and other aspects are 1.5-2 times that of ordinary rocket artillery, and its appearance looks extremely majestic.
The Yobaron rocket launcher is huge
In terms of firepower. Since the Yobaron rocket launcher adopts a 40-barrel firing system, each tube can fire rockets with a caliber of 107 mm, 122 mm and 128 mm, and each launch unit can hold 3 to 4 rockets, it can reach 120-160 rockets per launch, and its maximum ammunition reserve is 240 rockets. The power of each rocket is equivalent to one medium-caliber howitzer shell, which can easily destroy enemy armor, infantry, fire points and other targets, covering 40 hectares of land after a single salvo! In addition, each firing unit can be fired independently or enhanced by combined firing.
The main purpose of rocket artillery is to implement fire coverage
In terms of range. The Yobaron rocket artillery has a maximum range of 20 kilometers, which is shorter than other similar rocket artillery systems, and is even more stretched than the range of the Continental Guardian rocket artillery of 300-400 kilometers. This is due to the different combat objectives: the purpose of the Yobaron rocket launcher is to suppress fire and kill in clusters at close range. For it, the range is not long enough, the accuracy is not high enough, it is not a problem, Yobaron rocket artillery with a powerful salvo kill and coverage area is enough to destroy close, high-density targets such as armored clusters, infantry groups, bunkers. The Continental Guardian rocket artillery is a superb medium-range strike weapon with long range and high accuracy, which is used to hit high-value targets such as enemy command posts and radar stations at the first moment. Therefore, the design concept is different, and the performance difference is naturally very different.

In terms of radar. The Yobaron rocket launcher is equipped with an advanced radar system that can quickly detect and track targets, greatly improving combat efficiency. In addition, the radar system has anti-aircraft and anti-jamming capabilities, which can effectively respond to enemy electronic warfare interference. Its radar modernization is considered to be one and two among the countries of the Middle East.
In terms of information processing. The Yobaron rocket launcher is equipped with an advanced information processing system that enables fast data transmission, command analysis and command control. In the operation, the rear commander can grasp the position, status and enemy target information of the Yobaron rocket artillery in real time through the information system, so as to remotely command the operation, improve the operational efficiency and increase the battlefield survival rate.
In modern warfare, radar is crucial
In terms of maneuverability, the Yobaron rocket launcher does not have an innate advantage, this is because in order to strengthen the firepower, thereby increasing its own weight, forming a situation of "more water on the surface, more water on the surface". Its full load of 70 tonnes is a huge challenge for a carrier vehicle. At the beginning of the design, the UAE specially purchased the American Oskosh heavy truck chassis to increase its stability. The Yobaron rocket launcher is equipped with an 18-litre diesel engine, giving it great maneuverability. Yobaron rocket artillery can reach a maximum road speed of 75-80 kilometers, with rapid deployment and transfer capabilities to adapt to a variety of battlefield environments and tactical needs. In addition, the rocket launcher is equipped with an advanced navigation and control system, which can achieve precision strikes and reduce accidental injuries.

Let's talk about the limitations of the Yobaron rocket launcher. Firstly, its maximum firing range is relatively short and cannot cover targets at a distance of 20 km. Although the range of 20 kilometers is sufficient for combat purposes, its range is indeed somewhat incapable when facing enemy long-range rocket artillery, helicopters, and UAVs. Secondly, because the Yobaron rocket launcher is too powerful, it will produce a huge roar and light every time it is fired, which is easy to expose the position and easy for the enemy to counterattack.
Gunships are natural enemies of land targets
In general, Yobaron rocket artillery is a rocket artillery system with strong firepower, wide coverage and acceptable information ability, but with a short range, it has a wide range of application value. When performing combat missions, it can quickly destroy enemy armored cluster targets, causing a powerful fire suppression effect. In the future, the Yobaron rocket launcher is expected to be introduced in a variety of variants to adapt to the evolving military technology.
