The development of domestic 130 mm rocket artillery

Mondo Military Updated on 2024-02-12

Throughout the history of rocket artillery of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, we can see that the context of its development is clearly visible. From the Katyusha rocket artillery during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to the later 130-mm rocket artillery, each generation of artillery carries the memory of the times and the progress of military technology.

Among these rocket launchers, the Type 63 130mm rocket launcher is a generation classic, it was finalized in 1963, so it is called the Type 63 130mm rocket launcher. The gun was equipped with a 19- or 30-tube directional receiver and used a rotationally stabilized turborocket, of which the anti-personnel rocket weighed 33 kg and had a range of about 10 km, while later extended-range rockets increased the range to about 15 km. In actual combat, this artillery provided strong support for the operations of the Chinese Army with its powerful firepower and reliable performance.

However, despite the advanced technology and performance of the Type 63 130 mm rocket launcher at that time, there were some problems. Its accuracy is relatively low, the cost is high, and a single salvo can cost a huge amount of money. This also reflects some of the limitations and challenges of the technology at that time.

In addition to the Type 63 130-mm rocket launcher, China has successively developed other types of rocket artillery, such as the Type 82 130-mm wheeled self-propelled rocket launcher, the Type 70 130-mm tracked self-propelled rocket launcher, and the Type 85 tracked 130-mm self-propelled rocket launcher. The research and development of these artillery pieces not only enriched the variety of China's artillery equipment, but also provided strong support for the modernization of the squadron.

To sum up, the development process of China's rocket artillery technology is full of brilliance, and each generation of artillery carries the unremitting exploration and efforts of the squadron. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the enhancement of national defense strength, it is believed that China's rocket artillery technology will usher in a better future.

Through a review of the development process of rocket artillery of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, it is not difficult for us to find that this process is not only the epitome of China's scientific and technological progress, but also the embodiment of the country's strong strength. From the initial Katyusha rocket launcher to the later 130mm rocket launcher, and then to the launch of various improved models, China's rocket artillery equipment has continued to grow and develop, but also reflects that the squadron has been constantly exploring new military technology and strategy and tactics.

On the road of military development, every technological innovation is inseparable from the hard work of scientific and technological personnel and the support of state policies. With their wisdom and sweat, the workers have made significant contributions to the country's national defense. They continue to overcome difficulties, solve various technical problems, constantly improve the performance and accuracy of artillery, and silently dedicate themselves to defending and maintaining world peace.

At the same time, we must also be aware of the challenges and problems faced in the development of rocket artillery. Problems such as low accuracy and high cost still exist, which require us to further increase investment in scientific research, strengthen technological innovation, and continuously improve the performance and quality of artillery. Only in this way can we ensure that the squadron always maintains a strong firepower advantage in modern warfare and effectively responds to various security challenges and threats.

In general, the course of the development of rocket artillery of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is full of glory and hope. We have reason to believe that under the strong leadership of the party and the country, the squadron will make more brilliant achievements in the field of military technology and make unremitting efforts to realize the great goal of the Chinese dream!
