Type 67 Model 30 rocket artillery

The Type 67 Model 30 was a self-propelled rocket launcher of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, built on a Hino six-wheel drive truck chassis and carrying two launch rails for large artillery rockets. It entered operational service in 1968, and 48 launchers were built before the type was retired by 1993. Japan developed it at home after it could not obtain the American Honest John rocket, with Japan Steel Works developing the launcher and Nissan the rockets and fire control. The article calls it the first large calibre rocket used in Japan after the Second World War and the longest range and most powerful weapon in the force arsenal of its day. Each launcher worked with a loader vehicle on the same kind of Hino chassis, so the type belongs to the Hino truck family as a military road vehicle.
