The Type 82
multiple launch rocket system was developed by NORINCO in the early
1980s. It replaced the ageing Type 63 130-mm artillery rocket system
in service with Chinese army. Both the Type 63
and Type 82 systems fire the same rockets. Only a limited number of
these rocket systems were built and it was replaced with more
capable
Type 81. Some of them are still
in service with reserve forces.
The Type 82
has 30 launch tubes for 130-mm rockets. The standard rocket is 1 m
long and weights 32 kg. Rockets are fitted with HE-FRAG,
fragmentation and incendiary warheads. Maximum range of fire is 10
km. Some sources claim that extended-range rockets with a maximum
range of 15 km were produced. Vehicle also carries 30 reload
rockets. Rockets are reloaded manually.
The Type 82
is based on the 6x6 truck chassis. The previous
Type 63 was based on a tracked armored
vehicle or 4x4 light truck.
