Concept : Deploying Army MLRS from Navy Ships for Coastal Fire Support Missions

The Nigerian Navy is ranked 4th in Africa by GFP (Global Firepower). It is indisputable that the main criterion for assessing the Navy of any country is in tonnage.

Nevertheless the amount of sea based firepower available to a navy can be an equally important way of assessment when each unit of investment can achieve the greatest possible positive net effect.

Unfortunately while Nigeria has invested over $1 billion in naval acquisitions in the last five years, there is no single vessel in the Nigerian navy equipped with weapons tha can deliver ordnance at ling distances. The decommissioning of NNS Aradu created a capability gap in the Nigerian Navy.

Paradoxically the solution to this problem might lie with the Nigerian army.

The possibility of putting an RM-70 MLRS on warships might not be farfetched. The two major shortcomings of the Nigerian Navy is a lack of precision land attack capability and organic unmanned ISR. Since Nigeria is reluctant to invest in missile launch systems at sea, sea based rocket artillery might not be a bad idea.
Placing RM-70 MLRS on warships will give Nigeria navy the ability to strike deep into enemy littoral territory from standoff distances out at sea, which will also enable a reduction in reliance in air power to deliver over the shore attack.

Two RM-70 on a frigate or coastal craft makes for a potent 120 nm range projectile. Just imagine multiple launchers firing multiple rockets on area or multiple target being from a Nigerian Navy ships !

==========================

pragmatic approach to deterring foreign aggression but the writer did not explain to us how he intends to solve the inherent accuracy issues.

firing rockets blindly might saturate or overwhelm the target when in close range but anything longer than 5km the rockets salvo strike cone would increase dramatically.

maybe you meant guided projectiles which is plausible However, Close in weapons systems like the Phalanx mounted on ships negates such concept.

I could be wrong though.

Bros I don't understand o
What exactly is the buying point of this Beryl rifle ?

IMO, its too long. And that's an issue in a CQB.

The length of the gun is 940mm
If the stock is retracted it is 870mm

Now the barrel alone is about 419mm thats almost half the size of the entire rifle if the stock is retracted

Well, the long barrel make up for the 600meters effective kill range.

But the length is still a no no in a CQB.

I hope we will modify the length without affecting the Kill range.

It has a CQB variant

@abiodunalasa
I think the Beryl will be the standard rifle for infantry.
Tavor is there for CQB

horlams:

Thank you bro. I dont know are aware of the CQB variant.
I dont see any reason we will see this lighter and shorter version and yet be running after that long one that looks like an old man walking stick.

abiodunalasa:


Bros I don't understand o

There is a short variant.

The benefits of the Beryl are enormous. You have an assault weapon that shots the 7.62mm standard AK round to a distance of 600m. It has a very low recoil, works perfectly in all of Nigeria's environmental conditions. A picatinny rail for various accessories to be added.

Ok o.

But I love that mini Beryl as our SIR.
Its not just about fighting heavy, its also about fighting smart.

It can even be used as a Standard Sniper Rifle
That gun is like a Tank!
I give it that.

This solution is applicable for breach head landings , better utilized on LSTs etc

Mounting rm70 on a frigate will require it to get very close to shore provided it can do so (not all ship's have the capability to operate in shallow waters) also makes it vurnerable to swarm attacks by crafts or short range missile attacks or land launched MBRL itself
