In Belarus, develop MLRS with an increased range of fire

Belarusian designers are working to create multiple rocket launchers with a firing range over 200 km, reports MIC With reference to the head of the country's military-industrial committee Sergey Gurulev.

During a meeting with the President of Belarus, Gurulev reported that the task of creating a new MLRS "is planned to be completed during 2016-2017's."

“As for the new Polonez multiple rocket launchers already created by Belarusian manufacturers, they are put into service and will be delivered to the troops by July 1”.

According to the newspaper, Alexander Lukashenko was also informed about "other promising defense projects, the development of military-technical cooperation with Russia and the results of the financial and economic activities of the State Military Committee for the five years and for 2015 a year."

It is noted that the “MLRS Polonez”, whose firing range is 200 km, in the 2015 year, passed a successful test at the landfill in China. ”

Earlier, the head of the committee stated that the Belarusian specialists "will soon come out to create a multiple launch rocket system with a firing range of more than 200 kilometers."

This is a Belarusian development. The missiles are Chinese (Russia refused to cooperate). "It is possible that the Russian side" kindly "refused to test the complex on its territory, so the choice of the Belarusian military department fell on China. In addition, most experts agree that the" Polonozy " a red rag for the Russian "bull", especially in general against the background of the intensification of the Belarusian-Chinese military and military-technical cooperation and the allegedly established thesis that interaction in the defense sphere with the Middle Kingdom is the lot of only the mighty of this world (or - "this is our cow, and we milk it ").

[Talgat]

Cooperation between Belarus and China has always been - even on this site several years ago there were articles on the donation of military equipment by China to Belarus.

And there is no connection with "gingerbread from the West". Belarus and still communist China have always been close partners.

In principle, this is justified - if we in Kazakhstan have a certain "China-phobia" because of proximity, then our brothers Belarusians are far away and have nothing to fear - so why not benefit?

[Gogia]

Such ammunition should have a simple guidance system. Americans did this with their MLRS.

Tuplyu: can anyone explain how through 200 km this system will combine the projectile with the target?

Read how shells from "Hurricane" can be controlled from space and you will understand
Multi-charge MLRS determines high fire performance and the ability to simultaneously hit targets in large areas, which, together with the suddenness achieved by volley fire, provides a high effect on the enemy. The main disadvantage of rocket artillery systems is the relatively high dispersion of shells. In modern conditions, to eliminate this drawback, rockets began to install flight control systems, correcting the trajectory of the projectile (for example, inertial and inertial, combined with a radio control system at the end of the trajectory - on the Russian 9K58 MLRS "Smerch" and inertial combined with the satellite system - on shells of the GMLRS type American MLN M270 MLRS).

Of course, in the vicinity of Belarus BeiDou (BDS) is still missing, but

According to earlier options and forecasts, China planned that the Beidou system will complete its formation by 2020 and will generally consist of 35 satellites, providing global coverage with positioning accuracy of less than 10 meters and timing (time synchronization) of 20 nanoseconds.

... does not bother we really can ... for 1989 MLRS "Smerch":

A distinctive feature of the shells is the presence of a flight control system that corrects the trajectory of the pitch and yaw (see diagram of electronic time device and control unit). Due to the use of this system, the accuracy of hits of the "Tornado" was increased by 2 times (does not exceed 0,21% of the salvo range, that is, about 150 m. http://rbase.new-factoria.ru/missile/wobb/smerch/smerch.shtml

This is the difference between not manageable rockets and shells with control and correction systems. My comment is about unguided missiles.

Since when did a native of Grodno become a Pole? All his life he called himself Litvin. And the piercing Polonaise is parting with the Grodno region before forced emigration after the well-known events. The great patriot of the land of Belarus was Oginsky. And there were no Poles in his relatives. You already have the poles and natives of Grodno, the poet Miscavige, and the creator of the Esperanto language Znamengof, and a native of the Minsk province F. Dzerzhinsky. It’s a shame for the Belarusian not to know this — you even read the memorial plaques when walking around our cities — you will learn a lot.

Then the question is: if it is possible to sell "Club", then why is "Polonaise" more dangerous? And, the C400 can also be used for ground targets and there are also inquiries about selling it to the same China.

Ammunition is a separate issue in general. How many of them do not stock up, but still it will be small. The amount of ammunition for the barrel and rocket artillery should be enough for at least 3-4 months of active military operations, otherwise there is no question of actions on equal terms against the NATO!

The thing for war is probably not bad, but I’m afraid there will be no ground operations if it suddenly breaks out ... But as much as possible hide from the air and at the same time answer ...

[Robbihood]

From our media.
With the release of Polonaise, the share of Belarusian components is already approaching 70%. In the coming years, this figure should be at least 95%.

According to Sergei Gurulev, Chairman of the State Military Industry Industry, the tests of Polonaise in China were completed successfully. During the test launch of two missiles at a distance of about 200 km, targets were recorded with a minimum circular deviation of 1,5 m.

The President of Belarus was shown the “Polonaise” in its entirety: a combat, transport-loading and combat control vehicle.

All elements of the complex are mounted on a four-axle high-cross-country chassis MZKT-7930. The weight of the combat vehicle in running order is 46 tons. Each vehicle is capable of simultaneously delivering a targeted strike at eight targets at a distance of more than 200 km, which is about two and a half times more than that of the Smerch Soviet-made MLRS.

According to Gurulev, in the near future, domestic experts will start creating their own rocket for the Polonaise complex with a range of not only 200 km, but also substantially more (according to some reports, up to 300 km).

The claimed characteristics and the characteristic appearance of the Polonaise suggest that the prototype missiles that the complex is equipped with are long-range and high-precision munitions of Chinese design. After all, Belarus has no serious experience in creating its own missiles and missiles.
Moreover, as some commentators believe, it was the A301 200-mm rockets designed and developed by CALT that became the model for one of the types of ammunition for the Polonaise.
At the same time, the design features of AR3, which are also traceable in Polonaise (in particular, the modular nature of the combat station), suggest that the Belarusian system can use several types of ammunition and even calibers if necessary. Along with container modules containing 300 mm rockets, the launcher can be charged with containers with 370 mm rockets. These are high-precision ammunition Fire Dragon FD220 with a maximum range of 220 km and FD280 with a maximum range of 280 km.

The 280 mm caliber Fire Dragon FD370 guided missile has an inertial guidance system interfaced with a satellite-based global positioning system (this can be GPS, GLONASS or Chinese Beidou), which makes it possible to achieve a circular deviation of the order of 30-50 m.

The latter characteristic gives specialists the basis to assert that the 3 mm-caliber guided munitions of the AR370 MLRS have properties characteristic of tactical ballistic missiles with an inclined launch type.

However, apparently, the creation of such analogues is not the ultimate goal for the Belarusian leadership. Lukashenko posed a more difficult task - within two years, the Belarusian army should receive modern domestic missile systems of a new generation.

According to some information, we are talking about creating our own operational-tactical complex (OTRK), corresponding in its characteristics to the Russian OTRK “Iskander”. Rather, its version “M” with a firing range of up to 500 km, since the range of the export version “E” (280 km) can soon be reached and even surpassed by “Polonaise”.
In this regard, it is worth remembering the repeated statements of the President of Belarus about the desirability and even need to get hold of a powerful missile weapon.
And since cooperation in this area with Israel is unlikely for a number of reasons, only China can be the only real partner of the domestic defense industry in the creation of the Belarusian OTRK.

As I understand it, the performance characteristics are classified. I would like to know what areas it covers.

That "Polonaise", that the MLRS A-200 missiles are the same. So take the performance characteristics of the Chinese MLRS A-200 and see
Rocket weight 750 kg
MS weight from 100 to 150 kg
Firing range from 50 to 200 km
KVO (according to various estimates) from 30 to 50 meters

In principle, it is possible to "push" tactical cruise missiles into these Polonaise containers.

In principle, this is a new direction in the development of MLRS

So Pakistan already has it.
This design only looks scary at startup.

Well, for what else? Father for a penny will sell his mother. But of course, not only Qatar, anyone who pays. If grohla grosches scratch, then they with all the pleasure.
