The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China boasts a type of artillery rocket gun called the PHL03. It is extremely powerful, but quite costly, according to China National Radio.

If an artillery battalion fires such rocket guns simultaneously for one round, they can hit every part of a town. However, such an operation will cost 100 million Yuan ($15.64 million) in total.

One shot from a single rocket gun will cost 750,000 Yuan ($117,269). Its shooting range is about 70 kilometers. With its guidance navigation system, it can hit a target as accurately as a missile.
