Known as the "AK-47" in the world of rocket artillery. Chinese name 63 type 107 room meter light towed rocket launcher. It is a first-class system with a variety of advantages. This rocket artillery has a long history of research. As early as 1948, Zhong Lin, an expert of the People's Liberation Army, set up a rocket technology room in Hebei and began to develop A3 type 6-tube 102-room field rocket artillery, which was later transferred to the 52 factory to continue the development. In 1951, China successfully developed Type 427 and Type 488 102mm rockets with a maximum range of 5 kilometers.
At the end of the 50s, Ji Songying and others of the 847 Factory began to trial produce 8-kilometer rocket artillery, and Yang Yintong of the 803 Factory and other units began to develop rockets for rocket artillery. In 1963, the Type 1963 107-mm rocket launcher was designed and finalized.
First of all, the most distinctive feature of this rocket launcher is its simplified and optimized design. The 107 rocket launcher used a direction finder with a length of 900 mm and a full ammunition weight of 188 kg of rockets, which made it possible to reach a maximum range of 8500 meters. At the same time, the launch interval is 06-0.Between 8 seconds, it has strong firepower. In the high and low firing boundary, it can reach 0 degrees to 60 degrees, and the directional firing boundary is 15 degrees on the left and right, which has good shooting flexibility.
Secondly, the 107 rocket launcher has the characteristics of being lightweight, easy to carry and easy to operate. The total weight is only 23 kilograms, plus the rocket is only 40 kilograms, which can be carried by a single person and run after the fight, which makes it have a significant advantage in complex terrain operations such as mountains, jungles, Gobi and swamps.
It is exported to many countries and has been copied a lot.
In addition, the design of the 107 rocket launcher is also very durable, and it can be designed according to the characteristics of poor logistical conditions and difficult maintenance of guerrilla warfare. If necessary, the 107 rocket launcher does not need a launcher, it is placed on a mound of earth, and then it can be fired by connecting an ordinary dry battery, and if there is no wire and dry battery, it can also be fired by disassembling the back cover and lighting the fire (it is said that the fire point should not be credible).
107 fires of improvised launch.
To sum up, the 107 rocket launcher has been widely used and recognized for its many advantages and characteristics.
107 Fire is known as one of the three major artifacts of the guerrillas.
