This is the first public debut of this rocket launcher after the National Day military parade in 2019. The new box fire adopts a new Wanshan Special vehicle chassis, which is more compact than the old PHL-03 self-propelled rocket launcher, and its power, transmission, information level and passability are also better than the old rocket launcher chassis.
New box rocket launcher is a modular rocket launcher that can be equipped with 300mm rocket launcher module, 370mm rocket launcher module or 750mm ballistic missile module. It has the advantages of strong maneuverability, high strike accuracy, strong firepower, high informatization degree, and simple operation.
Tang Qizhong, the chief designer of this type of rocket launcher, said in an interview that the range of the new box rocket launcher can reach 300 kilometers, and the strike accuracy is very accurate. The range, accuracy and power of this box rocket launcher represent the highest level in the world.
Chief Secretary Tang said that the design concept of the weapon system is: the backend is expert type, the operation is fool type, and the operator can complete the operation according to the operation process of the equipment. The remote box rocket launcher weapon system has an automated loading system. It used to take one hour to load a truck of ammunition, but now it can be completed in ten minutes after loading a truck of ammunition, which greatly reduces the difficulty of use.
In addition to being simple to operate, the weapon system follows the low-cost design concept, greatly reducing the production and use costs. The cost of is one-third of the missile , which can not only fight far and accurately, but also afford it.
Taiwan Air Force Base is geographically close to the mainland. The Tainan Airport , stationed by the Taiwan Army , the First Tactical Fighter Wing, is less than 270 kilometers away from the mainland coast; the , Hsinchu, is less than 150 kilometers away from the mainland coast; the Chingquangang Air Force Base of Taichung, stationed by the Third Tactical Fighter Wing, is less than 180 kilometers away from the mainland; the Chiayi Airport, where the Fourth Tactical Fighter Wing, is located, is less than 200 kilometers away from the mainland.

This means that after the troops are installed, our army artillery brigade can cover the bases of most of the Taiwan Army's Air Force Fleet.
In addition to the 74th Army, the Tibet Military Region, 72nd Army, and Xinjiang Military Region will also install the same box rocket launcher in the future.
Taiwan has responded to the effectiveness of box rocket launchers.
Observer Network columnist Xi Asia Yu Fengwen Community released "How many forces are needed to suppress the Taiwan Army's Hsinchu Base? 》 article aroused enthusiastic response from the media on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In order to respond to the public attention on the island, Taiwan's "Minister of National Defense" Yan Defa made a statement on May 3 that he did not want the mainland to "stricken civil and military attacks" and affect "regional stability". He "is not suitable for comment" on such articles, and hopes that "harmony is the most important."
Observer Network editor then interviewed the columnist Xi Asia. First of all, Xi Yazhou said that the pseudo-Defense Minister Yan Defa dared to face the reality and dared to admit that the Hsinchu base is indeed within the range of long-range rocket launchers, and he still has a basic understanding of the "enemy" in front of him, and his professional quality is worthy of recognition.
