FT-165 'Whitefire' MLRS

FT-165 firing a salvo of 2 220mm rockets
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/russian-mrl.jpg

------------DESIGN---------

As you can see, it has what looks like a T-80's base, with is sleek low profile and ER armor. But in a twist of design, the small turret has been replaced by a huge rocket pod, capable of holding 30 of the 220mm rocket.

Having a tanks body means it has a large amount of armor to protect the crew, and has armor enough to stop the penetration of shells up to 120mm in size (less if ET Cannons are involved.) Also, the solid base allows more rockets to be added to the pod above it, and larger munitions can be carried.

Notice the tank like body

------------ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS----------

This state of the art MLRS is fitted with state of the art electronics and systems, and can engage targets to as far as the rockets it carries allows. Using Freedom Countries latest and greatest technology, it can select targets designated to it by a given locater, be it a Spy Plane, GPS satellite or other military units, such as ground troops with designators or tanks needing cover.

The Missiles are guided by a seperate unit, called the MGU or Missile Guidance Unit. The targets are fed through the designator system from an outiside source, and as long as the position of the target is given until the missile strikes, it can be hit.

To avoid counter battery fire, the latest EMP and jammers are used. Derivatives of the famous Russian Arena and Shorta systems are used, to fool an enemy missile (be it guided).

----------WEAPONARY-------------

Attached to the main body, the rocket pod is capable of holding 30 220mm rockets, or 2 of the EAW-16 Tactcal Surface to Surface Missile (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76211) which have a range of 50 miles plus. These rockets are guided by the fire control systems, and are quite maneuverable, enough to respond to quick, small flight changes directed by the FCS.

This pod can rotate 360 degrees on what would be the tank turrets slot, and has a turret like base which it rotates on. At the front of the tank is a .50 cal machine gun, on its own pedastol. There are a selection of weapons in a compartment in the cabin, which contains 3 FC-57 Assault Rifles, a LAW, and several bulletproof vests.

It only really needs a crew of 2, but a crew of 3 is best, to operate the computers, drive the thing, and a reloader/mechanic, who does what the name suggests. It is a low maintenance vehicle, that can be reloaded easily due to the rockets being able to lower and raise, turn and twist.

------------OVERALL-----------

Overall, this is a good missile system, capable of long range bombardment and destruction. Heavily armored and capable of dealing a large punch (larger than that of the M270 MLRS), it is a fairly ideal MLRS system.

All of this, including weapons and a full load of rockets, all for 8 Million USD.

Thats right, 4 Million USD!!!

And most of all:

nice we still prefer the lighter, air mobile ELS-400 High mobility MLRS (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76224) since we dont expect artilery units to come under ground fire or be without protection.

Anyway maybe you should make it capable of firing the EAW-16 Tactcal Surface to Surface Missile (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76211) and post this link on your thread :?
10-10-2003, 18:08
Okay, editing now.
10-10-2003, 18:23
#1: No way in hell this thing is worth 8 million USD
#2: No way in hell it could launch 4 EAW-16's, maybe 2 if you're lucky.
#3: Who needs ERA on a MLRS launcher? Unless you plan to use them right at the front line it's useless
#4: Who needs ARENA and SHITORA (same reasons as #3)

10-10-2003, 18:23
I will take five...

40 million USD will be wired upon confirmation...

Of course if it was me i would have just improved the rockets i already feild (the 200 and 400mm rockets from the Harald) for the extra range, it would have reduced your supply complexity by a huge degree) and used a bigger launcher but thats just me.

Unless of course this is purely for export.
10-10-2003, 18:26
I like the deisgn, the launcher is fine, and better rockets are in the works.

The larger rocket it fields, is UE's one, which has nothing wrong I can see.

And 220mm is a nice ammo.

And to be honest, it is a random range, as I know nothing of MLRS's other than whats on Sky News every night.

I will punt up the range. What to?

he's got a point i'd say two.

Okay, #2 is done.

#1: I said I know nothing of MLRS's. Recommended price?
#3: Just in case.
#4: Against counter battery fire, and missiles against it. Ask DT.

4 million maximum.

Ask DT? LOL he thinks that ERA, ARENA, and shitora make everything invincible
10-10-2003, 19:22
Done

And yes, I know DT speaks jibberish, but Arena etc do help.
10-10-2003, 19:25
I'll buy 100, for 800 million USD.
Also, 1k packs of 30, for 150 million USD.
Total 950 million USD.
10-10-2003, 19:27
Order Confirmed.

At least all this arguing is keeping it at the forums top. No BUMP's so far.

Dummy arena's USELESS against an attack by another MLRS! It might destroy 1 bomblet, the rest will hit! Shtora is a JAMMER that wont do good against UNGUIDED missiles!

Dummy.

Nice TOS-1 on T-80 chassis, BTW.
11-10-2003, 15:59
NO

Most MODERN MLRS's use GUIDED missiles (guided by the computer on the launcher.)

The missile would be given coordinates, and guided.

And besides, you can do NOTHING against artillery, other than shoot and scoot or destroy the counter battery.
11-10-2003, 16:02
We would like to order 1,000 of these weapon systems. We would also like to purchase the production plans for these, so that we may make some modifications.

We will wire the $4,000,000,000 for the MLRS once confirmation is given.
11-10-2003, 16:03
Shtora is still useless by principle against any form of MLRS missile.
"the Shtora-1 defensive aids suite which is produced by Electronintorg of Russia. This system includes infrared jammer, laser warning system with four laser warning receivers, grenade discharging system which produces an aerosol screen and a computerised control system"
That jams MLRS missiles how?

Oh yeah, FC, if you know nothing about military technology (CHECK!), then dont spam the forums with your useless "inventions". Some n00bs might actually buy it.
11-10-2003, 18:10
Calm it. Put your huggies back on, its only a post. And some people (non-n00bs you will notice) like it.

I only meant for it to jam missiles (from helicopters, planes, guided ones from MLRS's).

Is my order confirmed? If so, and if we can get the production plans (for the 1 billion you listed in a previous post), we'll send the money.
11-10-2003, 19:08
Yes, your order is confirmed. Sorry I missed it.
