Recently, CCTVMilitaryThe official account posted a paragraphPromotional video, focusing on the PHL-191 long-range rocket artillery equipped with the PLA artillery unit and its supporting combat system. From this paragraphPromotional video, we can see the PLAFar FireIn addition to launching vehicles and command vehicles, the troops are also equipped with artillery reconnaissanceDrones。The command vehicle can be charged via a data linkDronesTransmitted back to the front line, so as to coordinate the launch vehicle to complete the aiming and strike. This independent targeting and striking capability makes the PLAFar FireThe troops have a high degree of autonomy in actual combat. In addition,Promotional videoalso appeared in withPatriotsAir defenseMissilesThe similar target of the launch vehicle hints at the PLAFar FireThe ability of the troops to strike at the most valuable targets.
This paragraphPromotional videoFar FireThe characteristics of the equipment and combat system of the troops are remarkable. People's Liberation ArmyFar FireThe troops not only have advanced long-range rocket artillery, but are also equipped with artillery reconnaissanceDrones。Command vehicles can passDronesReal-time footage is transmitted for precise targeting and strike. This equipment configuration illustrates the PLAFar FireThe unit has a high level of autonomous search and strike capability on the battlefield. In addition,Promotional videoPresentPatriot missilesThe launch vehicle target further demonstrated the PLAFar FireObjectives deliberately set by the troops during training. This suggests that the PLAFar FireThe unit has the ability to strike at high-value targets, and has strengthened the search and strike training of such targets in the course of training.
In traditional training, the PLAFar FireTroops generally use temporary lime powder targets or cement piers simulating reinforced targets as hit areas. This is because of the long-range of the PLARocketsUsually with satellite guidance orLaser-guided, does not have the ability to identify the end target. RocketsThe accuracy of the strike mainly depends on the accuracy of the work of the guidance system, and does not depend on the setting of the target marker. Therefore, it is rare to use a specific target of a particular equipment in training. For the PLA,RocketsThe targets are usually relatively vulnerable targets, such as tanksArmored vehiclesetc., relative to these goalsPatriot missilesEquipment with certain protection capabilities, such as launch vehicles, is considered "soft targets". Therefore, there is no need to set such targets as additional references in training.
However, whenFar FireWhen a unit uses a target with a distinct character in training, it means that other units also need to use such targets in training. fromPromotional videoJudging from the information on display, the only unit that can use this target is the artillery reconnaissanceDrones。This shows that in this training, the PLA hopes to use artillery reconnaissanceDronesThe ability to search and strike autonomously is improvedDronesSearch efficiency in complex battlefield environments. By willingDroneswithFar FireTroops working together can makeDronesAfter discovering the ** value target, quickly guideFar FireTroops strike at the top.
In the event of a possible conflict in the Taiwan Strait, the PLAFar FireThe unit will not only serve as a support long-range strike firepower for the rocket force and aviation units, but will also be more likely to become a decapitation firepower specifically for striking the most valuable targets of the Taiwan military. Although the Taiwanese military often makes some tough statements, claiming to be able to take full controlThe situation in the Taiwan Strait, and declared that the PLA is not to be feared. However, they clearly know that when a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the PLA will weaken the strength of the Taiwan military to the greatest extent by virtue of its superior firepower. PatriotsAir defenseMissilesPositional, anti-shipMissilesUnits and facilities such as launchers and reinforced ammunition depots will be destroyed in the first strike. In order to reduce losses, the Taiwan army can only disperse and deploy these high-value targets and launch a sneak attack when the PLA landing force attacks.
In order to maximize the blow to enemy forces during this window, rely onlyDronesIts own firepower is not enough. However, ifDronesAble to bootArmyFar FireThe troops strike, then under the bombardment of hundreds of kilograms of warheads, the enemy's most valuable targets will be quickly destroyed. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the PLAFar FireThe troops are used in trainingPatriot missilesThe target of the launch vehicle is for trainingDronesThe ability to autonomously search for such targets. This will make it possible to fly over the islandDronesIt can find and locate the first-class target that has evaded the first round of strikes in a relatively short time, and then guideFar FireTroops strike at the top. This move will further weaken the defense of the Taiwan military and make it difficult for it to use "guerrilla tactics" to threaten the landing force of the PLA.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has firmly grasped the initiative and used it on the Taiwan Strait issueFar FireThe most important target of the troops to strike at the Taiwan army is only the People's Liberation ArmyMilitaryPreparation is the tip of the iceberg. This does not mean that the PLA has relaxed its R&D and integrated research and developmentDronesThe development of the development does not mean that in additionFar FireOutside the troops, the PLA has no other means to achieve the same tactical goals. These trainings are only aimed at further improving the PLA's presence in TaiwanMilitaryPreparation work so that unnecessary losses can be avoided as much as possible if necessary.
