There is a hot meme on the domestic Internet, known as "world famous paintings", and some classic scenes that appear occasionally are often called "world famous paintings" by netizens. Who would have thought that this "world-famous painting" was actually a rare time for Chinese and American servicemen to be in the same frame, and it was the PLA that seemed to show an expression of "disdain" when standing in front of the US Army's "most advanced rocket artillery."
The moment the "Hymas" rocket launcher was fired
The Polish Military Police Defense Exhibition (MSPO-2023) is underway, and an M-142 "Hymas" wheeled high-mobility multiple launch rocket system, the most powerful fire support weapon in active service of the US Army, is parked at the invited US military booth. In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the "Haimas" of the US government's assistance to Ukraine once caused huge troubles and losses to the Russian army, this kind of maneuverability, range of up to 70 kilometers, and with "stop and fight, fight and run" advanced equipment, is still considered to make the Russian army feel difficult opponents. Although the "Hymas" in the hands of the Ukrainian army has also been destroyed by the Russian side, this does not seem to prevent Poland and other countries from favoring it, and the Duda government has imported 36 "Hymas" and their supporting ammunition to the United States in two batches.
Chinese soldier visits with a smile on his face to review "Hymas"
Interestingly, in MSPO-2023, two PLA staff members stood in front of the US military's "Hymas" with great interest, and it was almost equivalent to "0 distance", which is a completely rare scene. As for the expressions of both sides, it is even more worth talking about. The two PLA workers seemed to be quite relaxed, talking and laughing, most likely sharing comments on "Haimas". The three American soldiers in the booth stared at the two Chinese soldiers "like a great enemy", their faces full of seriousness and vigilance.
This person is most likely an arms company salesperson
As for the most "embarrassing" person, it is probably the "third party" on the scene, that is, the American staff in suits, straight ties and briefcases, who are most likely the sales personnel of the arms company responsible for selling and negotiating business on the spot. Only this person had a "professional smile" on his face, but apparently did not step forward to introduce "Haimas" to the Chinese soldiers. It is not so much that he knows that "it is impossible for the United States to sell weapons to China", but rather that he does not know how to promote the so-called "performance advantages" of "Hymas" to the Chinese side ...
The compact size of the "Hymas" facilitates quick air transport
It is estimated that the two Chinese soldiers who laughed and commented on "Haimas" have already seen the doorway, what is the lead of this "US military's most advanced rocket artillery" compared with similar Chinese products? In addition to a high degree of compactness, which is conducive to rapid airlift and camouflage, I am afraid that "Hymas" really has no performance that can be obtained in the face of Chinese rocket artillery. After all, if we talk about "playing with rocket artillery", I believe that no one will doubt China's global strength in this field.
"Fire Dragon-500" with a range of close to 480 km
In the face of all kinds of China's domestic rocket artillery with a range of hundreds of kilometers, the "Haimas", which has a maximum range of no more than 70 kilometers when firing uncontrolled rockets, is obviously not qualified to be called a "long-range fire support weapon". Even if the latter launches an extended-range ATACMS tactical missile, the maximum range is only about 490 kilometers, which is comparable to China's "Huolong-480" long-range rocket, and the "Huolong-480" is still a simple guided rocket, which is much lower in cost than ATACMS, a sophisticated and expensive missile weapon.
Chinese domestic long-range rocket artillery
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that China is one of the countries in the world that pays the most attention to the development of rocket artillery, a fire support weapon. Looking at the world, only the PLA has built a complete rocket artillery range strike system of "near, medium and long"; In view of the needs of different combat environments such as deserts, plains, plateaus and airborne, various models of rocket artillery with different chassis have been developed; It even gives rocket artillery the ability to launch suicide drones / patrol missiles, and can carry out "drone swarm operations" with a single cannon... Everything shows that China has pointed out technologies that other countries have not thought of and realized on the "science and technology tree" of rocket artillery.
Domestic long-range rocket artillery fired in a salvo in the plateau
It is believed that in the near future, Chinese soldiers with a smile of "Wang Zhi's contempt" commenting on "world-famous paintings" of "advanced weapons made in the United States" will be staged more and more.
