The Chinese Defense Company NORINCO promotes its range of MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) to meet the tender of Peruvian Army to replace the old Russian-made rocket launcher system BM-21.
In response to the request of the Peruvian government for the replacement of its rocket launcher BM-21, and assess opportunities available on the defense market, the Chinese government sent an invitation to Peru to visit the production facilities of the Chinese company Norinco.
During the visit of the Peruvian military delegation to China, the company Norinco has presented two systems of multiple rocket launchers, the Type 90B of 122 mm caliber and the AR-3 of 370mm caliber.
