France is considering purchasing the Indian 214-mm Pinaka MBRLS (Multiple Barrel Rocket Launch System) as part of its program to replace the American M270 MLRS missile systems.
France’s interest in the Pinaka system is surprising because several European countries are contemplating purchasing the Israeli PULS multi-caliber rocket system as a replacement for the M270 MLRS.
PULS Multi-Caliber Rocket System
The Israeli PULS (Precise and Universal Launching System) is an advanced, modular, multi-caliber rocket artillery system developed by Israel’s Elbit Systems.
Designed for maximum flexibility, PULS supports a range of rocket calibers, enabling operators to choose different munitions based on mission requirements.
PULS Can Launch
- 122 mm rockets with 40 km range
- 160 mm rockets with 45 km range
- 306 mm rockets with 150 km range
- Heavy rockets and missiles like the EXTRA and Predator Hawk, capable of 300 km range
PULS uses a modular architecture and is designed to be platform-agnostic. It can be integrated on a variety of wheeled or tracked chassis, including 4×4, 6×6, and 8×8 configurations. The system can be configured for different terrains, such as open deserts, urban areas, or rugged mountainous regions.
