Budget ✨ PHL-03 Multiple Launch Rocket System 1/35 Trumpeter 💯

The PHL-03, also referred to as the Type 03, multiple launch rocket system is a Chinese version of the Russian BM-30 Smerch. It was developed by NORINCO and reportedly entered service with the Chinese army in 2004 – 2005.  Currently it is one of the most powerful artillery rocket systems in the world. The PHL-03 is also being proposed for export customers as the AR2. It is in service with Morocco (one battalion with 36 units). The PHL-03 retains the original Russian configuration with 12 tubes for 300mm rockets. The standard rocket weighs around 800kg. Some sources claim that its maximum firing range is 150km, however it is most likely to be up to 100km. The PHL-03 is based on a Wanshan WS2400 8×8 special wheeled chassis. This military vehicle has good cross-country mobility. It is fitted with a central tire pressure system which can be adjusted on the move.
