Pictures show a destroyed TPLF's (Tigray People's Liberation Front) PHL-03 (Chinese clone of the BM-30 Smerch MLRS) and reloading vehicle somewhere in Tekeze area, Central Tigray (Via "Ethiopia Map")
The TPLF used this to fire rocket artillery at air bases in Bahir Dar and Asmara. It was likely destroyed by a drone strike.
The TPLF obviously acquired this after a huge chunk of the Northern Command defected. This is a very sophisticated weapon with guided rockets which only professionally trained soldiers can operate.
As we reported previously, Ethiopia got the Chinese AR2 300mm MRL.
