Pakistan has bought these Beasts from Serbia

[Basel]

Rocket assisted aerial bombs (FABS)converted into this, main use against army troops, artillery etc.

Now we will saw some serious action at LOC a single missile (T.V guided) can take out full bunker in one strike with range of 50KMS mean stay out of Indian range and hit them hard on rear end.

Seems good weapon to have when facing cold start threat.

Seems good weapon to have when facing cold start threat.

For cold start we have Nasr and for routine we have this.

 

[Areesh]

Good weapon. I hope we kill loads and loads of enemies with it.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Suprised how this will fit into grand scheme of things but just seems like another addition in Armed forces

Does adds to dynamics of our forces vehicle mounted launchers for FAST action

The new Kosava-1 optional-guided missile was displayed in the presence of Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on October 20.

The Kosava-1 is a Serbian long-range multipurpose missile system based on the improved version of Oganj rocket. The Kosava-1 missile system was developed primarily for missions against tanks, armored vehicles, fortifications, command posts, low-flying helicopters, coastal ships, industrial facilities and bridges at the 50 km distance.

After active phase of flight is completed, missile is released from Oganj’s rocket motor assembly by pyrotechnical/mechanical device, and continues flight with passive weapon guidance system which uses the infrared (IR) light emission or video signal from a target to track and follow it.

The warhead is a high-explosive fragmentation type with a total weight of 100 kg furnished with a contact and proximity fuse. The missile weight at launch – 309 kg, the rocket motor propellant weight – 61 kg.

The launcher with Kosava missiles can be mounted on a 6×6 light armoured vehicle that carried four missile canisters arranged that can be elevated and turned away from the unprotected cab.

According to the source, the first tests will be held in the near future in Pakistan.

I get the feeling this may have been tailored for Pakistan! I thought HJ-10 might be chosen but this does have a better spec sheet.

This is different thing than HJ-10. HJ-10 comes in category of ALAS C system another system from Serbia. It think we may also consider that system from Serbia

Pakistan army makes a modest improvement

 

[Signalian]

The other MLRS in PA inventory fire rockets, like A-100, KRL 122 and Azar.

This system fires missiles, which are obviously guided but fired from a Multi purpose Rocket Launcher system. So instead of rockets, it will fire missiles. There are guided rocket systems options available also but PA went for a missile system. Its role seems to be different from a traditional MLRS.

Advantages:
1. An individual tank, Armored vehicle or low flying helicopter or a moving target can be engaged with a guided missile from a decent range (upto 50km), much more of an ATGM (6-10 km). Just like Aerial BVR combat. By the time enemy forces come closer, they would have lost a part of their attacking strength.

2. Multiple launcher system gives flexibility in engaging a single high priority target with a volley simultaneously or engaging multiple targets (upto 4) with just one system in place.

So one of these on a indian bunker and done instead of a volley of mortars or ATGM's

We can leave the bunkers to be engaged with cheaper option such as unguided weapons like RR guns/RPG or indirect fire system like artillery/mortar because bunker is a stationary target.

Pakistan army makes a modest improvement

sir,
This is a very good improvement considering its advantages over MLRS or artillery systems which may have difficulty targeting moving targets from a long range.
Also you dont need to fly in Air support like Gunships with ATGM's or aircraft with guided munitions to attack enemy with guided weaponry from a long range. You are reducing direct contact with enemy for Gunships and they can be used else where.

@DESERT FIGHTER your comments on this thread would be appreciated.

You should start a topic explaining differences between rocket and missile laying emphasis on guidance systems like GPS/GLONASS , IR and TV for both rockets and missiles instead of calling an artillery expert who will lose his cool after 5 posts hahahaha.

ADEX 2017: Chunmoo K-MLRS with 239mm Guided Rockets



At ADEX 2017, the International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition currently held in Seoul, South Korea, local company Hanwha Corporation is showcasing the Chunmoo Multiple Launch Rocket System (K-MRLS) and its ammunition.

The Chunmoo K-MLRS on Hanwha Corporation stand at ADEX 2017

According to Hanwha, Chunmoo is a next-generation main force firepower equipment for artillery units, which can outrange and precisely strike the enemy's long-range artillery.

The South Korean government awarded a development contract to Hanwha in 2009, development of Chunmoo was completed in 2013 and it entered mass production in 2014. The MLRS is now fielded with the ROK Army and Marine Corps. More than 100 units have been ordered (with deliveries still ongoing).

The 239mm guided rocket developed by Hanwha has a range of 160 km and is used mainly as a "bunker buster" by the ROK Army.

Chunmoo can fire three types of ammunition:
- 130mm non guided rockets (with 2 containers of 20 rockets each)
- 227mm non guided rockets (with 2 containers of 6 rockets each). These are rockets used by the American-made M270 which is in service with the South Korean army.
- 239mm guided rockets (with 2 containers of 6 rockets each)

The 130mm rockets have a range of 36 Km while the larger 230mm-class rockets have a range of about 80 Km for the non guided one and 160 Km for the guided variant. The types of rockets can be mixed (for example 1 container of 20x 130mm and 1 container of 6x 239mm).

According to Hanwha, their guided rocket is actually used as a "bunker buster" solution by the army because of its penetrator warhead. This was a requirement of the ROK Army as DPRK (North Korea) has a large number of bunkers along the border with the South.

Detailed view of the Chunmoo launcher (here with 2x6 230mm-class rockets)

The launcher is fitted on a 8x8 Hanwha truck chassis capable of a top speed of 80 Km/h. The crew of the vehicle is composed of 3 soldiers: The driver, the commander and the shooter. Firing is conducted from inside the vehicle via the fire control system. The vehicle is armored and protected against NRBC threats.

In addition to the launcher vehicle, Hanwha also developed the reloader truck. ROK Army is still using K200A1 as command vehicle for their MLRS artillery units however. A typical ROK Army Chunmoo battery consists in 18 vehicles.

Yar, i think it all comes down to guidance system for engaging a stationary or moving target.

Some guided rockets use GPS/GLONASS which i think cannot be used against moving targets.

Missile systems use IR guidance or TV guidance or other guidance which can engage moving targets.

@Khafee please explain coz i am not an expert on the topic.

The South Korean system should be inducted as MRL. And it has guided rockets which can hit targets we are already developing a MRL I think we should get these MRL and we can work further on Missiles it fires with Rocketstan of Turkey.

QUWA has explained a few things.

Roketsan marketed the TRG-122 to Pakistan in November at IDEAS, Pakistan’s biennial defence exhibition. Roketsan also revealed that Pakistan was also looking at 300 mm guided rockets (for which the Turkish company is offered its TRG-300). China’s NORINCO will likely be a leading contender for Pakistan’s rocket artillery requirements as well. According to Army Recognition, the NORINCO SR5 comprises of the 122 mm INS/GPS-guided BRE1, which has a range and accuracy of 40 km and 25 m CEP, respectively.

Honestly, Im a great fan of South Korean Weapons.

I am recommending South Korean MRL because it's nothing but USA technology produced by South Korea and also time to get this one from South Korea. Let's call it South Korean Javelin

Hyungung Raybolt is a great top attack ATGM.

Politically i think that ROK can get pressurised by Unc Sam against pakistan and according to many Pakistan has allegedly collaborated with DPRK in past over missiles tech.
