Thunderbolt-2000

The Thunderbolt-2000 (Chinese: 雷霆2000; pinyin: Léitíng 2000; RT/LT-2000) is a wheeled MLRS system produced by the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST).

[3] The prototype of the Thunderbolt-2000 weapon system was originally placed on the chassis of a M977 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck.

[citation needed] It had made its debut in 1997 when it appeared for the first time to the public during the Han Kuang Exercise.

While the Mk15 is the 117 mm rockets used by the Kung Feng VI that carries 6,400 6.4mm size steel balls, the Mk30 rocket is a bit larger than the Mk15 at 180mm caliber and can carry either 267 rounds of M77 Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) bomblets or 18,300 8mm size steel balls with range of 30 km.
