The Thais are fitting Chinese rockets with trucks probably assembled in Thailand, looks like Volvo truck. Chinese arms marketing is quite flexible for customer's need.

If they bought WS-2 a lot of neighboring countries would be really worried lol.

why pakistan chooose A-100 instead of them?

This is A-100 MRL- 12 TUBE than this one. A100 is a larger system operating in PA. More scary!


WS-1 has many variants, the WS-1 (100KM range), 1B (180KM range), 1E (122mm rockets, 40KM range) & WS-2 (400MM rockets with 200KM range).

The major difference is the firing platform, meaning the WS-1B with supposedly 180KM range has a 4 rocket launching platform, while in the A-100 system, its 10 barrel system and can be updated to 12 barrel system as well as range can be increased by just using the improved rockets, to 150KM from 120KM, the 12 barrel 150KM is supposed to be the PHL03 MLRS (export name AR2) in the PLA service, initially they came in 10 barrel configuration known as A100 or AR1.

And am not sure, but most probably the manufacturers of both systems are also difference, WS series are from China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation CPMIEC, while AR series are from China Academy of Launch Vehicle CALT.

WS-1B is what is known in the Turkish Army as TR-300 "Kasırga" MLRS

well i dont think so it is WS becoz WS 10 has 8 tubes and in this it has only 4 and huge tubes

Give them strategic systems like the SY-400 and SY-300 and the neighboring countries will start to freak out.

Thailand and China has been cozy since 1980s. Thailand is one of the pro-China member in ASEAN.

Some really old light tank from say WWII ? They are useful against opponents with no armour.
