Little did outside world know about it because they are not spending money on ppt, fancy ads.China is best in rocket artillary and second only to America in drone technology
If the accuracy is as stated then the best defense is to remain out of its range.
Interesting that you mention drone in this topic, cos in fact long range artillery + scout drone is a standard combo for artillery brigades. Recently an artillery brigade of the 71st Army Corp (71集团军) was spotted using new FX-500 (锐鹰; Sky Saker) hi-speed turbojet scout/recon UAV, replacing the widely-used decades-old ASN-206 series.China is best in rocket artillary and second only to America in drone technology
SR5 is an export product (and designation). There is another one used by PLA with much larger calibre, the modular PCL-191 can use 370mm guided rockets at range 350 km, or 750mm Fire Dragon 480 ballistic missile at range of 500 km. These are deployed along China-India border, and are expected to use FX-500 scout/recon drone as well (instead of old ASN-206). The Army artillery brigades can cover enough strike depth in their theater as well as can advance their position with ground troops, relieving burden of PLAAF & PLARF which can focus on deep strike missions.Unlike conventional small to medium calibre rockets that follow fixed ballistic trajectories, China's large calibre long range rockets of above 300mm are guided rocket that can be maneuver towards targets pin point by scout drones like FX-500. A small target like bunker or a radar can be hit precisely.
They are designed to hit the military positions on the east coast of Taiwan island and beyond.
