Hello everyone :), what I would like to introduce today is LY-70
LY-70 is an advanced medium range field air defense missile weapon system, mainly composed of combat vehicles, launch vehicles, and support equipment. The LY-70 is capable of intercepting cruise missiles, air to ground missiles, guided bombs, rockets, as well as fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, drones and other targets around the clock, providing accompanying air defense and regional key air defense protection for ground forces and important facilities. The vehicle was first unveiled at the Zhuhai Airshow in 2021, and the launch vehicle can be replaced with different configurations according to demand.
The vehicle can shoot and guide missiles while in motion, and the onboard AESA search and fire control radar can support detecting flying objects within a radius of 90km. It can also use infrared electro-optical search and tracking equipment to attack targets. Optoelectronic equipment needs to be unfolded before it can be used.The main weapon on board is the LY-70 missile, which is divided into radar guided LY-70R and infrared guided LY-70IR, with maximum ranges of 38km and 17km respectively. In addition, there are two FB-10A launch tubes installed on the upper part of the main launch box, making the total number of missiles in the vehicle 14.
The chassis uses a Volvo FM460 heavy-duty truck with a 6x2 drive and an AT2612F gearbox, with a total of 12 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. The engine has a horsepower of 460hp and a maximum torque speed of 1400rpm. The chassis has been redesigned, with an equipment compartment at the rear of the cab, a weapon turret installed in the middle of the chassis, a command and control instrument compartment in the middle of the turret, a foldable square electro-optical sight installed above the front, and a foldable square phased array radar installed at the rear of the turret.
Compared to other air defense systems, the LY-70 can carry more missiles, making it more convenient for saturation attacks against enemies. LY-70 can be used as an autonomous air defense system, but it can also be added to other air defense systems as part of a comprehensive air defense system. The control console of each vehicle in the system can serve as a command and control node, providing target information for the launch vehicle.
The firepower configuration of the vehicle is very powerful, with a maximum range of 38km for missiles, which can pose a great threat to airborne objects. At the same time, the chassis of the carrier vehicle has excellent off-road performance and can reach the combat position in a timely manner.
Due to its radar guided missiles having a range that exceeds all air defense missiles appearing in the game, it is recommended to only issue infrared guided missiles. When an anti-aircraft missile with similar performance appears in the game, then give it radar guided missiles.
