Shall we go for more Multiple Launch Rocket Systems MLRs?

[BetterPakistan]

Currently Pakistan army has in total 134 MLRS from which 42 are A-100E, 40 KRL-122 (native) and 52 Azhar (Type 83).

Iran has 1474 MLRS.
India has 292 MLRS.
China has 1770 MLRS.

I feel Pakistan Army shall increase MLRS to 500.

How about increasing KRL-122 from 40 to 100.
How about increasing 52 Azhar (Type 83) to 200.
And increasing 42 A-100E to 100.
This will make Pakistan Army MLRS size to 400.

Plus adding 100 9A52-4 Tornado from Russia will increase our MLRS quantity to 500 and its gonna give us significant boost too. I know it is difficult to increase MLRS size to 500 rapidly but gradually doing it is possible like taking from 134 to 500 till 2020?

with all due respect russians are never gonna sell this
and we are never gonna buy such kind of things as we keep a stance that our missile program is indigenious
they may be bought through black market and reverse engineered
depends on what we need

I agree. We need at least 4 different MRLs but they should be similar to M270 of USA

Iran is 2 times of Pakistan have two foes
India is 4 times of Pakistan have two foes
China is 11 times of Pakistan have many foes
so their number is MRLS is based on the size of their country and enemy they are facing .
Pakistan has 1 main enemy in only one side so number is limited .

 

[Muhammad Omar]

We should go for these (if we have the Money Obviously)

Chinese SR5 Truck Mounted Universal Multiple Rocket Launcher multiple System (MLRS) System



PR50 Sandstorm



RM-70 Modular MLRS

 

[BetterPakistan]

I thought of M270 but suddenly I realized that in current scenario we cannot acquire it from US. About 50 M270 can give our army a boost.

We can produce it ingeniously with assistance from China.

We are producing these KRL 122

Pakistan origin
Type self-propelled multiple rocket launcher
122 mm caliber
Pipe 30

What about UAE's Jobaria we can get them from UAE easily

 

[Reichmarshal]

these are

that is actually a Pakistan army engineers multi barrel rocket propelled mine launcher

 

[Shiji]

MBRLs and MLRS are expensive, less accurate and used to generally soften up an area. Pinpoint accuracy cannot be achieved unless you use guided munitions which becomes extremely expensive. Field and Medium Arty is used to engage the actual defenses. These Rocket system are used to engage even deeper target that are out of the Med Arty range. As far as these systems go their number should be increased but around +100 not more.
We should concentrate on acquiring Self Propelled Guns to replace the towed ones and buying better Mine Laying Area Denial MBRLs for the Engineers.
Arty needs more SPGs.
And maybe the TOS1? That thing is a beast!

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

I dont think it'd be proper and fit for our terrain.

 

[Delnavaz B]

Since i am not military or defense expert i won't argue with you further but many months back i showed this video to my father (served in PA) and his reply was POTENTIALLY GOOD since we have many plain parts without hilly terrains in Punjab and Sindh could be prove useful for us.

What would be better a single expensive platform that if taken out is destroyed completely along with it's 200+ ordnance or 4 or 6 smaller units like the current MBRLs that are more nimble and easier to conceal and having better survivability?

Buddy we are producing KRL-122 since 2010 and have produced only 40 yet. I don't think the cost of KRL-122 will be over $1.5-2 million each so I feel Pakistan Army shall take it from 40 to 100 or 200. I guess if we have 500 MLRS till 2020 than it can give us a significant boost.

Nice machines and we should definitely consider them

I am saying we should develop MRL like M270 which can fire missiles like Ghaznavi and Abdali which are equipped with convential but seriously deadly warheads capable of wiping out area of few square kilometers
