An intresting idea

Imperila has come up with an idea and is asking the world comunity if it would work. The idea is tatical missile batteries. Think artillery only with missiles. The main problem with it would be reloading but if you had a storage facility behind the firing facility, a missile could be convered up and into a 45 degree position for firing. The missile we have invisioned would be about 1 meter wide 9 meters long with a 2 ton warhead and a range of aproximitly 350 km. Would it work? Comments? More ideas?

Err... these exist. The US army uses them. www.globalsecurity.com <--- It's in there somewhere.
A guided missile artillery would be intresting, but inceribly enpensive. Think of MRLS only with missiles.

well most NS nations are immensly rich (im trying to get resurected) so it would eb worth it. Imagine the sigth of say 72 missiles each with a two ton warhead bombarding an attack army of tanks every 30 seconds nothing would be left. Sure it would cost billions but in our opinion it would be worth it.

Giuded MLRS does exist.
ground launched missiles in the extended tactical range bracket (ie over 100-200km) are perfectly feasible but there aren't many of them around as they msotly got banned under the nuclear reduction talks of the 1980s, 1 major casualty of those talks being the ground launched version of tomahawk.

The problem with the ground based Tomahawak was reloading. Also do you know of any nations that use these weapons.

Those pictures kinda look fake. Not saying they are though.
We're developing a missile tank along these lines- though its not really an artillery missile launcher, more like a bunch of TOWs and LAW's just put on top of a tank.
See the Vexia-Tobittstan Missile Tank Research Thread for more details, and to contribute if you wish.
We haven't come up with a name for it yet,though. or any solid designs.
It might be best for you to find a storefront that does MLRSes.

Don't you know what FAS.org is ? Otherwise, they aren't be fake.
