  • We are investigating the Type 63 multiple-launch rocket system and its derivatives and copies, a small but highly efficient Chinese rocket launcher. #type63 #mlrs #rocket
    Why did China develop an MLRS like the Type 63?
    Is the Type 63 a copy?
    Why have so many countries preferred to use or copy this MLRS?
    Is the Turkish T-107 Anadolu a copy of the Type 63?

    Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we investigate modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

    Some differences between Type 63, Nebelwerfer 41 and M16
    The Nebelwerfer had the payload in the tail and propellant in front, with spin stabilization nozzles in the center section. It also weighed twice as much. The M16 was spin stabilized version of the fin stabilized M8. The explosive charge ran through the core with the propellant wrapped around it. The nozzles were in the base.
    Type 63 was similar in size and appearance to the M16, with a similar base nozzle design. However it had a smaller warhead in the tip and the rear is entirely propellant, giving it higher velocity, range, and direct fire capability. The launcher is also entirely different. It’s much lighter, can be broken down to pack loads. It has “gun depression” for firing down from a hilltop position, and is loaded from the breech instead of muzzle, making it safer to load from cover and under fire.

      @johnyricco1220 Год назад +1

      @@IR_IE_ID That is true. The layout has existed since the Hale rocket of the 1840s. The reason the M16 was designed differently was it was based on an fin stabilized air launched rocket. Propellant around the warhead is probably for maintaining center of gravity as it burns out. Reduced velocity was not a big deal since aircraft add airspeed and the rocket is accelerated by gravity.

      @minhducnguyen9276 Год назад +5

      ​​@@strongback6550 Difference in priorities for development I guess. The German rockets had more payload and the payload sitting at the base increased effective blast radius. But this also significantly increased the complexity and thus, production cost. The Chinese compensated this by just adding more tubes per launcher and opted for longer range considering the later rockets are cheaper. Assuming that proximity fuzes are available to later variants, the German base payload design would also become obsolete.

    and some interesting facts . Like the US M1 and Czech VZ 52 , The Chinese have several weapons under a common designation and Type 63 falls in that.
    They have a Type 63 select fire rifle
    They have Type 63 60mm Mortar
    They have a Type 63 37mm SPAAG based on T34-85 Chassis
    They have Type 63 Light Amphibious tank
    They have Type 63 / YW531 Armored personnel carrier
    They have Type 63 107mm MLRS which were actually made for warfare in China's southern frontier which is hilly and heavily Forested and are generally towed type config.
    They have Type 63 130mm MLRS which have longer range , mounted on trucks and made for combat role in China's Northern Border and they fill the similar role like the BM-14 and BM-24 did in Soviet army.

    Some of the tactics Arab irregulars used with these 107mm rockets were really interesting. Hezbollah, for example, would remotely fire either single shots or salvos from improvised launchers in well-concealed positions, and had them pre-registered to hit likely avenues of enemy approach or Israeli-controlled territory. Since the rockets are so cheap Hezbollah could hide such launchers in every nook and cranny of Lebanon’s mountainous terrain, while a very small team hiding in an underground bunker could fire them in near-complete safety. This made counter battery fire useless if not impossible for the Israelis. So these cheap 107mm improvised rocket launchers basically acted as a kind of “long-range” anti-personnel land mine.

    nic breakdown of the weapon. I know from stories my uncle (a Vietnam vet)told me these things could be a "major nuisance" when the single rocket version was used by small units. The truck directly in front of his was obliterated by one during an ambush. Blocking the rest of the convoy in place and leaving them sitting still for more rocket attacks.

      @@Manomed3 I don’t think that Belarusian MLRS can utilize the Ugroza (RCIC) laser guidance upgrade though. As far as I can remember the Grad is the only ground vehicle to have had testing done with the system, and even that one has basically been shoved into a dusty corner without being given a designator. Air launched versions however have received the names S-5Kor, S-8Kor, and S-13Kor respectively. But it looks like they might’ve pulled funding on the whole project, so any kind of real world application is likely far out

      @Pete Sheppard If you want a significant volume of fire (particularly over a prolonged period), some platforms can still deliver it - whether via mortars, larger MLRS, or bombers. Of course, there are also still traditional tube artillery with 155mm cluster munitions that have a very significant suppressive capability but they are also very lethal. Ultimately, the business of war is about killing the enemy and it is more effective to hit them using one or two rounds than to end up spending more money hitting near them.
      Besides, warfare is becoming mobile and this means it is increasingly important to hit the enemy with precision, particularly as cheap and effective counter-battery radars are becoming more common. The proliferation of drones further compounds this. 'Shoot and scoot' artillery is here to stay.
      I do agree that small MLRS systems could be useful, especially if their range can be made competitive with NATO's artillery, mortars and other munitions like suicide drones but if they are just more inaccurate and potentially easier to intercept, then they could become burdensome. I'd like to see them with GPS guidance, as GPS guidance is pretty cheap to implement these days. An improved system like this could be effective on the modern near-peer battlefield and provide stiff competition for mortars.
      We do have small MLRS platforms in the Western World. One is similar to the Type 63 MLRS but it is designed to be fitted to any utility vehicle (like a Ford Raptor or a Toyota Hilux) with a flatbed within a couple of hours. It comes as a kit and is pretty affordable as a result. If I recall correctly, Ukraine has received this platform and it is called the Vampire (not to be confused with the larger 122mm Czech Vampir, which Ukraine has also received). The Ukrainians received the version that comes with a four-tube launcher and a guidance module that allows it to be used as point air defence with laser-guided munitions.

      The Rockets are more expensive then howitzer shells but the howitzer is more expensive than the rocket tube. rockets when unguided are notoriously inaccurate and easy to push with wind so they go off course extremely easily while howitzers tend to have longer range and are much more accurate and predictable.
