The Libyan National Army (LNA) showed the 300-mm BM-30 Smerch multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) supplied by Russia at a parade in Benghazi. This was reported by the Western publication Army Recognition.
The Smerch MLRS was developed in the USSR in the 1980s and has 12 missile guides. The combination of mobility and range makes the Smerch one of the most powerful artillery systems.
The Smerch is used to destroy concentrations of troops, artillery batteries, air defense systems, ammunition depots, and command posts.
The Smerch MLRS surpasses the 122-mm Grad MLRS in range and is suitable for delivering long-range strikes.
Army Recognition claims that Russia has transferred advanced S-300 and S-400 air defense systems to Libya. In addition, the LNA has improved its capabilities thanks to MiG-29 and Su-24 aircraft.
Characteristics of the Smerch MLRS:
- Weight in combat position — 43,700 kg
- Minimum firing range — 20 km
- Maximum firing range — 70 km (for main shells), 120 km (for 9M542 shells)
