preface
On September 5, the Polish Military Police Defense Exhibition (MSPO-2023) began to be in full swing, which is already the 31st exhibition held, held in Kyle. The Chinese side was also invited to participate in this exhibition, which brought together weapons from various countries, including the American Hymas rocket launcher, which is the most powerful firepower weapon currently in service with the United States and has also appeared in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
With such a famous weapon, people attending the exhibition were inevitably interested in observing it. During the exhibition, the foreign media also recorded the event, and one of the photos attracted the attention of many people, only to see two PLA troops standing in front of the booth of the Haimas rocket artillery, in front of the booth American soldiers with solemn faces, what is going on?
Visit the "Hymas" rocket launcher
Poland Military and Police Defense Exhibition (MSPO-2023) is an international industrial exhibition, in which not only some other countries' military equipment, but also the technical system in the field of rescue and security, holding such an exhibition is also to enable countries to better communicate in these fields.
At this exhibition, the booth of the US military parked a Haimas wheeled high-mobility multiple launch rocket system, which is a fairly powerful fire weapon of the US Army. Such high-intensity and high-power lethal weapons also appeared in the previous Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
It is the assistance of the United States to Ukraine, this weapon has a very strong mobility quite flexible, in terms of range can also reach about 70 kilometers, due to very flexible mobility, can be described as where to stop, hit and immediately transfer, is simply a very convenient weapon.
Countries such as Poland are very fond of such mobile weapons that can be flexible on the battlefield. It even made arms deals with the United States, placing orders for more than 30 vehicles, and equipped with complete ammunition and equipment. It is such a well-known weapon, and the personnel of the Chinese People's Liberation Army who participated in the exhibition were also quite interested.
According to the photos circulated by foreign media, it can be seen that the Chinese People's Liberation Army stands in front of the Haimas rocket artillery booth with a relaxed expression, exchanging views on the Haimas rocket artillery with each other, and such a close observation is also rare.
On the other hand, looking at the few people stationed in front of the Haimas rocket artillery booth, the expressions of the American soldiers were not as relaxed as those of the PLA. Their expressions were quite serious, their eyes were staring at the two Chinese People's Liberation Army, and they simply had a feeling of approaching a great enemy, and the two big words of vigilance were simply hanging above their heads.
In the photos taken by foreign media, there is a staff member wearing a tie, a suit and a briefcase, most likely a salesperson in charge of negotiating arms business, belonging to a "third party" at the scene.
I saw a professional smile on his face, and did not introduce the weapon in front of him to the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the embarrassment in this simply overflowed the screen, no matter what changes between China and the United States, in terms of weapons, how should he introduce the so-called "performance advantages" of Hymas to the PLA?
The two Chinese soldiers in front of the Hymas weapons booth discussed the weapons in front of them with relaxed faces, and it is estimated that they have seen the doorway of this type of weapon, and what is the combat effectiveness of Hymas, which is known as the strongest rocket artillery in the United States? And how does it compare with Chinese rocket artillery?
How is the actual combat of "Hymas"
Hymas rocket artillery once showed its strength in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and the Russian army has also suffered certain losses because of Haimas rocket artillery, feel that this weapon is quite difficult, does this weapon really have such great power? In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the reason why the Haimas rocket artillery can exert its difficult strength is also contributed to certain factors.
There are many equipment systems responsible for reconnaissance on the battlefield, and the equipment systems used by the Russian side cover a limited area, which can only hit about 60 kilometers behind the Ukrainian army, and the radiation range is limited, which leads to the fact that the Haimas rocket artillery has a certain space for activity, since there is no way to cover it.
Then there will be no warning of the movement of rocket artillery, which will have a certain impact on the later suppression of fire. Coupled with Russia's use of the Haimas rocket artillery weapon in Ukraine, it can be seen that with the development of the conflict, the Haimas rocket artillery has also had an impact on the strike strength of the target, and has begun to change from the previous strike ammunition depot to the current strike front-line artillery.
It is obvious to see the Haimas rocket artillery, which has been changed from the previous "decapitation" mission to firepower assistance. According to relevant data, the range of the Haimas rocket artillery also has certain restrictions, and the longest distance can only reach 75 kilometers. Such a situation is not enough to be seen among Chinese rocket artillery of the same level.
Take China's old Type 03 long-range rocket artillery, its range can reach 70-150 kilometers, and it can accurately strike targets in such a large range, this is only the old rocket artillery, not to mention the new rocket artillery with more modern equipment, the new rocket artillery range can only be longer.
The new 191 rocket launcher has a range of more than 300 kilometers alone, which is a long distance that many tactical missiles are deterred. In the face of such a situation, some people will ask how the Haimas rocket artillery compares with China's AR-3 rocket artillery?
US advanced rocket artillery compared to China
The AR-3 long-range rocket artillery and the American Haimas rocket artillery are relatively similar in terms of overall design. According to relevant data information, the AR-3 long-range rocket artillery has certain combat units, not only equipped with artillery companies, combat company support, but also possession.
In the system design is also equipped with advanced weather detection, the control system is also occupies an important position, it can be said that the AR-3 rocket artillery is quite powerful, compared to the United States Hymas long-range rocket artillery, the same as a basic unit of the battalion level, in this regard, the gap between the two is not very obvious.
Their gap is reflected in the fire density of rocket artillery, China's AR-3 rocket artillery density far exceeds the Haimas rocket artillery, to know that with the Cold War, Haimas rocket artillery has also been relatively modified, due to the requirements of anti-terrorism and lightweight, the design has been weight reduction, weight reduction, then relative to the intensity of fire will also decrease. The adjusted lightweight version of Hymas and the shoulder and AR-3 are not comparable.
China's domestic rocket artillery all kinds of range will basically be about 100 kilometers, in contrast to the American Haimas rocket artillery, the range of this weapon is about 70 kilometers, because of the impact of range factors, he can not become a long-range fire support weapon, in fact, later for the launch of kilometers range to increase, the maximum range is only about 490 kilometers.
Such a long distance and China's fire dragon long-range launch missiles, made in China are adhering to the high quality and low price, in the production of rocket artillery, also has its own strengths. Although China's Fire Dragon-480 is also a guided rocket, its launch coverage is comparable to the upgraded ATACMS of the United States, but in terms of production cost, it is far lower than that of American weapons, and it is far behind the United States in terms of production cost.
Not only that, China's military science and technology field is also in the process of continuous development, for rocket artillery this type of weapon research is also very thorough, it is worth noting that only the Chinese People's Liberation Army has built a complete rocket artillery range system in the subregion, these areas are near, medium and far three regions.
In addition, for any environmental conditions that may occur in actual combat, China will also consider this, and has also carried out different types of rocket launches for some different environments such as deserts and plateau airborne landings, and even has unique equipment in the field of scientific and technological UAVs. It can be said that in the fields of military science and technology, China has gradually walked out of its own path and gradually gone out of the world.
summary
At this exhibition, the Chinese People's Liberation Army smiled at the American Haimas rocket artillery for a close observation, I believe they have recognized the gap between such models and Chinese rocket artillery, many netizens saw this photo, have said that they have a "Wang Zhi contempt" smile on their faces. It can also be seen from the side that the current development of China's military science and technology field is very certain, and I believe that in the near future, China's own highlights will bloom in the international field, and the development of military science and technology can also be better and better.
