- May 10, 2021
A Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) unit of Xinjiang Military Command deployed the country’s latest PHL-03 long-range multiple rocket launcher (MRL) artillery system in Tibet.
A report in semi-official Global Times said that the PLA Unit deployed to a high-altitude plateau (read Tibet) recently replaced its outdated artillery with digital, long-range heavy rocket artillery, greatly enhancing its all-weather combat capability in the border region.
The unit, currently deployed in a snow-covered region at an elevation of more than 5,200 meters, recently received a batch of new self-propelled heavy rocket launchers, which are mobile, fast-reacting and highly accurate besides being jamming-resistant, its said quoting China Central Television (CCTV).
The new MRL artillery will be deployed for missions like seizing and control of key regions, and group assault in high-altitude terrains and deserts as well as close to rivers and lakes, under all weather conditions, the report said.
