MCL launch complex: 240 missiles with 4 tons of deadly cargo

According to the Internet portalPopular mechanics", The basis for the creation of the Jobari Defense Systems from the UAE launch complex Multiple Cradle Launcher (MCL) was Oshkosh Defense 6x6 Heavy Equipment Transporter, aka M1070 HET, used by the US military for transportation tanks Abrams. The MCL has 8 wheels, a 700-horsepower Caterpillar turbocharged six-cylinder engine.

The rest of the MCL is the 5x5 trailer with 4 launchers, each of which contains 60 122-mm missiles. 10 hydraulic stabilizers block recoil from firing. The fire control system is fully computerized, and the shooter can indicate the exact number of missiles to launch. An integrated navigation system and a global positioning system for each of the four pillars ensure firing accuracy.



Apparently, the MCL is equipped with 122-mm missiles TRB-122, manufactured by the Turkish company Rocketsan and presented in this weapons two modifications. One option has a point fuse. The other is equipped with a non-contact fuse, which makes it possible to cover the target area with steel fragmentation rain. Both variations have a range of up to 35 km at sea level. The MCL is able to fire all 240 shots in less than two minutes. The total mass of the striking element in this case will be 3919 kg of explosives and steel shrapnel. Other mobile rocket launchers are inferior to MCL by 6 times the number of missiles. In this case, the MCL is able to be served by only one gunner.

The disadvantages of MCL are the small caliber of the rocket, which limits its radius of action and the payload (presumably, about 16 kg of explosive). The enormous size of the MCL makes it difficult to transport the system to remote battlefields, especially considering the wheeled version of the trailer.

In February, Jobari Defense Systems demonstrated Twin Cradle Launcher (TCL), on which two frames were installed, each with four 300-mm Rocketsan TR-300 missiles with warheads with increased firepower and a range of more than 97 km.

The whole military road train looks impressive, but also a very convenient target.

[siberalt]

If the delivery of explosives is considered to be tons, is it not better to have a pair of missiles of 2, or one with four? Once pulnul, and reported for the amount of cargo delivered. And you have less work and superiors a little star on shoulder straps.

[bulvas]

Just right, the shahs and emirs are impressed
- such a thing, such a thing!

[Alex777]

Yeah - a madhouse on the road!
In addition to the firing range is not impressive.

[Alex_Rarog]

Range Generally nothing to do with but the number of missiles in a salvo !!! 300 buns from one platform, this is really tin)))

[alstr]

Tin - I agree. But how to get to the front line? Even on the roads - not every bridge will survive.
And with us, not every road will survive.

[Thrall]

It remains only to build an autobahn to the front. True, the problem will be, if you advance, then you have to finish building the autobahn. If you retreat, then there are no problems
For the Western coalition, an indispensable thing for "targeted" strikes on the next al-Baghdadi, who took refuge in a densely populated city.

[igor.borov775]

Dear value comes to the fore. The weight is abandoned and the cost of this entire complex. Since 2003, the USA has been struggling with increasing the weight of a volley and its cost. It's just the expense Yankee got for the amount of a smart expensive missile shell and the result. There is something to think about. Yes, and in the desert, it’s the least. human rights defenders will be. Allies from neighboring countries need something powerful to offer. There are such sea rockets. The main thing is to warm up interest in this monster.

Absolutely not rational. 6 BM-21 Grad installations, it’s more mobile, the salvo concentration is higher, which means that the strike is more powerful, the launch time is shorter, there are more options for using the group together and singly, the ability to fire at one target from different points is safer with a retaliatory strike, more people for maintenance and for the same recharge.

[megajob]

I support! Moreover, the charging moment is completely not taken into account here, this is a “miracle”, the analogue of three separate “cities” can both shoot alternately and charge while others “throw” it. And here - well, let out all this heap and further? How much the whole squad will then fuck with exercise and until they finish - you can’t shoot. Well, or if they start shooting with an undercharged one, it will fly away with less, and then again, to hell with how much it should be charged. And what if the tractor is on the road? Well, after all, there is no unbreakable equipment, which means that if one is sent there (two are deemed unnecessary) they simply can not wait! Whereas out of the three “cities” at least one will reach each other, and even one “package” is still that “present” to those who fall under it. In general, one hemorrhoids.

They can’t, under any circumstances. According to all the rules of conducting fast and mobile warriors, firstly, they will not have goals worthy of such a concentration of MLRS, secondly, they simply will not reach, they will not succeed in reaching positions for firing, they should soak this mammoth on the march, three times in a row.

War is also chess, intelligence including intelligence, will report on the arrival of installations to a specific theater, then the General Staff or other territorial command, analyze the capabilities of these forces and their possible use, determine the nature of the threat, possible targets for defeat and directions of action. Then instructions are given, in the absence of a threat, to continue observing and controlling the enemy or an order for destruction, in this case the optimal method of destruction is determined, depending on the time and availability of forces in the area. The order is already offered in parts, additional satellite or other reconnaissance is carried out, and then a plane with missiles or a cruise missile, or maybe a tactical missile, takes off from some kind of airfield. Also, it’s not possible to exclude the use of a sabotage group ... something like that.

Which of their neighbors is capable of such actions? I repeat the question again

[megajob]

I repeat: what the hell is better to eat such a shrimp than 18 separate cities, for example, with exactly the same number of "packages"? Just as they already answered you - what will they iron in such a wild volume in their deserts? With such volumes, it makes sense only to wash the city to the level of rubble. And as you already hinted at - such a fool is slow and can survive until the next charge only with the complete absence of counter-battery fighting! But then it’s just barmalei and again the question arises about goals, well, stupidity is so much to throw in squares in the desert. Watch the video of “blacks”, in their attack there is no more than a couple of dozen, but on these we throw only half the packet and any “enthusiasm” in barmaley is multiplied by zero.
I recall the manic organization of orgasm on the Dreadnought at the beginning of the last century. It looked - cool, in the war it turned out - only expenses, but to no avail.

This is addiction on the march, I’m not interested in how they will compensate for the load from non-synchronous start-up from different installations and vectors of descent. And for some reason I am not surprised from the Arabs.

[Machete]

Yes and more:
Comrades forgot to write about the scatter. Even the video shows that they are starting to fly with noticeable deviations. And what will be at 97 km distance? So these 240 missiles will scatter over an area equal to Monaco. Even if there are a lot of enemy troops, their losses will not be large. It will be necessary to set up a regiment of such installations in order to kill someone on the other side.

Something is not really believed about positioning. Nobody will use expensive missiles with any guidance in such quantities. They will shoot ordinary unguided shells and that’s it.

[mvg]

From what I managed to read, it’s true only in 5x5, the rest is nonsense. Neither "8 wheels", nor 4 installations, nor 240 rockets ... nor 4 to 60, it’s a shame to serve such a dish for dinner. In the course of mathematics, the affctor has problems.

You're right. Judging by the photos of 3 launchers for 38 missiles, total 114 missiles.
