300-kilometer precision strike! Western Theater Command releases footage of 191 long-range box-type rocket launcher simulating attacks on S-400 radar systems
It must be said that China's PLA Army has truly mastered the long-range box-type rocket launcher, not only boasting extended range, high precision, and massive firepower, but also increasingly sophisticated targeted strike capabilities.
Take a look at the latest promotional video released by the "Xilu Qiangjun" account of the Western Theater Command on July 8th. The video features various precision strike scenarios involving the 370mm rockets from the 191 long-range box-type rocket launcher—such as directional airburst, bunker penetration, drilling through earth, and the “two missiles, one pit” tactic—along with numerous training drills targeting simulated targets.
One segment shows the 370mm rocket projectile from the 191 long-range rocket system performing a directional airburst attack, simulating destruction of the S-400 air defense system’s 92N6E fire control radar (likely targeting India). In the footage, sheep are placed at regular intervals (possibly every 10 meters) near the radar target to test the fragmentation kill radius and effectiveness of the rocket’s steel pellets or shrapnel.
The 191 long-range rocket’s 370mm projectile delivers outstanding results: after directional airburst, fragments (like a sudden downpour of plum blossoms) instantly cover a ten-meter radius, realistically simulating complete destruction of the radar and killing enemy personnel within tens of meters around it.
Incidentally, the 370mm caliber rocket used by China’s PLA Army—the 191 long-range box-type rocket—has a range of 300 kilometers; the 750mm caliber version can reach up to about 500 kilometers. With such ranges combined with exceptional accuracy and lethal effects, and capable of delivering overwhelming volume, who wouldn’t tremble in fear upon seeing this?
