Russian Forces Use Of UAV "Orlan-10" And MLRS "Tornado-G"
Joint work of UAV "Orlan-10" and MLRS "Tornado-G"
"Tornado-G" MLRS Weapon System Information 👇
The 9A52-4 Tornado system is based on the chassis of the KamAZ-63501 8x8 military truck, which provides good tactical mobility.
It is equipped with a single container with six launcher tubes for 300-mm rockets, which can fire all current Smerch rockets, including HE-FRAG, incendiary, thermobaric, cluster with anti-personnel or anti-tank mines.
Cluster rounds may also carry self-targeting anti-tank munitions.
The 800 kg standard rocket has a maximum range of 90 km.
A range and direction correction system provides better accuracy compared to its predecessors.
The 9A52-4 can launch rockets singularly, by a partial ripple or by a full salvo, which can cover an area of 32 hectares.
A full salvo can be fired within 20 seconds. The 9A52-4 launching vehicle can be reloaded within 8 minutes.
Launcher pods are designed for use with 122-mm and 220-mm rockets.
The weapons system is equipped with an automated laying and fire control system, along with an autonomous satellite navigation and positioning system.
Positioning and firing data are exchanged between the launch vehicle and the command vehicle.
Deployment
Russian ground forces received about 30 Tornado-G systems in 2011, replacing the BM-21 Grad.
The improved Tornado-S was upgraded with the special GLONASS satellite navigation system used in the Smerch missile system.
The Tornado-S has guided rocket rounds enabling it to fire out to 72 miles (120 km).
The Tornado-S has a longer range and increased effectiveness, due to the use of new warhead payloads and a reduced launch readiness time of just three minutes.
The Tornado-G entered series production in 2013.
The system entered service with the Russian armed forces in 2014.
The Tornado-S was approved for service in July–August 2016 and started its serial deliveries.
20 Tornado-S vehicles ordered in summer 2019.
A new order was made in August 2020.
Tornado-G received export permission in June 2018 and Tornado-S with 120-km range satellite-guided shells in August 2019.
The three upgraded 122 mm Grad HE-Frag and HE/HEAT rocket variants for the Tornado-G multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) codenamed 9M538, 9M539 and 9M541 have a significant increase in firepower, albeit at a lower range capability.
BM-21 Grad systems are being upgraded to the level of new-generation Tornado-G systems.
Russian forces used Tornado-S during the armed conflict in the Donbass and the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
