台灣已向美國採購MLRS多管火箭了
http://defense-update.com/wp/20101224_atacms.html
On December 20, 2010 the Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin an order worth over $916 million, for the delivery of 226 ‘tactical missiles’ and 24 launcher modification kits, plus logistical support to be delivered under Foreign Military Sale (FMS) to the UAE and Taiwan.
The intentions of Taiwan to acquire ATACMS (or MLRS for this matter) were never publicized, and the country don’t have MLRS, GMLRS or HIMARS in its inventory, which could require modification for the U.S. missile, therefore the actual identity of these missiles or their delivery to Taiwan is still a mystery…
The UAE situation isn’t clear either. Is this order related to the original sale of GMLRS and ATACMS missiles to the UAE, announced in 2006?
The UAE has initially requested acquiring tactical missile systems from the U.S. in 2006, as part of an acquisition of 20 high mobility rocket systems (HIMARS), 200 ATACMS missiles and 130 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) carrying Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM) and an equal number of ATACMS and GMLRS carrying unitary warheads. The total value of the 2006 package was $752 million. While the actual delivery of these weapons was never publicized, the U.S. is known to operate a training facility in the country to establish a the cadre for the HIMARS school training local crews in the operation of GMLRS and ATACMS.
