China’s advanced type PCL191 multiple rocket system in strategic proximity to Taiwan – reports

A report in the latest issue of Modern Ships praises the Chinese multiple launch rocket system called the Type PCL191 as the most cutting-edge piece of weaponry capable of firing both rockets and ballistic missiles.
