Philippine Armed Forces plans to use 25 hectare land for coastal defense

The Armed Forces of the Philippines plans to use a recently acquired 25-hectare land on Calayan Island, a remote island in Cagayan province south of Taiwan, as part of the country’s coastal defense system, the military said. https://t.co/BUepv6bRty

25 hectare piece of land right?

Ok.  I can rock with that.  But...

One launcher firing twelve rockets can completely blanket one square kilometer with submunitions. For this reason, the MLRS is sometimes referred to as the "Grid Square Removal System" (metric maps are usually divided up into 1 km grids).

Our MLRS is a beast and we can assume the Chinese version is too. But wait.  Not familiar with this hectare nonsense.  What does that equal?

 One sq km is equivalent to 100 ha. As a result, a farm with 100 hectares of land has a total area of 1 sq km.

Wow.  So 100 hectares is equal to 1 sq kilometer.  But if the Philippine govt is getting 25 hectares then...the Chinese will be able to destroy the entire island with just a few missile launchers.

The MLR is a jacked up experiment.  If located they will easily be destroyed.  We can assume the Chinese will have MAX ISR coverage of the entire theater of operations.

FD2030 will not work.

HQMC labored hard to produce a steaming pile of garbage. Defense battalions failed during WW2 and their modern equivalent, the MLR will too.
