The PHL-11 is a truck-mounted self-propelled 122 mmmultiple rocket launcher (SPMRL) produced by Norinco for the People's Liberation Army Ground Force. It is a modernised replacement for the older PHL-81.
The PHL-11 is derived from the SR-4 multiple rocket launcher designed for export which was, in turn, developed from the PHL-81 multiple rocket launcher. It was adopted by the People's Liberation Army under the PHL-11 designation.
The PHZ-11 shares similar armaments with the PHL-11, but with a tracked chassis.[2]
Each PHL-11 is equipped with 40 122 mm rockets mounted on a swivel mount with 2 pods of 20 rockets each.[3] The SR-5 export version is fitted with 2 modular rocket pods able to carry either 20 122 mm or 6 220 mm rockets in each pod.
Each SR-4 launcher vehicle is usually paired with a reloading vehicle based on a Shaanxi 8x8 military truck fitted with a crane. It carries pods of rocket reloads and reloads the launcher vehicles. As such, reloading time has been cut from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.[4]
The vehicle is equipped with a fire control computer and CBRN protection for the crew.[3][4]
The PHL-11 can also fire 122mm DTI-2 rockets manufactured by Thailand's Defense Technology Institute.[3]
The vehicle used is a 6x6 Shaanxi SX2190KA. The vehicle is equipped with a 206KW Weichai WD615-77A straight-six diesel engine paired with 9 speed manual transmission. The vehicle can reach a speed of 80 km/h and has off-road capability. Another variant features armor plates on windows, including fold up plates on side windows and blind curtain armor on the frontal windscreen.[1]
