Новая «путевка в жизнь» для «Дракона»: морские бомбометы РБУ-6000 «Смерч-2» приспособили для ударов по врагу на суше

The weight of the projectile is 113 kg, of which 23 kg is explosives

Russian military personnel at the forefront have deployed the Soviet RBU-6000 "Smerch-2" naval rocket launcher. The 212 mm caliber launcher, which fires rocket bombs, remains the main anti-submarine armament of destroyers, cruisers, large and small anti-submarine ships, corvettes, frigates, and patrol ships.

The weight of the projectile is 113 kg, of which 23 kg is explosives. After being modified in the field, it becomes a deadly and heavy projectile, heavier than a 122-mm rocket from the Grad multiple launch rocket system. The maximum firing range is 5230 m. In the air, they accelerate to a speed of 300 meters per second.

RBU-6000s are installed on lightly armored armored personnel carriers, trucks, and even tank platforms. For the sheaf of sparks of rocket powder, the unusual appearance, and the powerful damaging effect, the installations received the unofficial nickname "Dragon."

The range of the rocket bombs is quite large. These are very powerful projectiles that cause serious damage to fortifications, lightly armored vehicles, and enemy manpower.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russia developed an FPV drone "Doomsday" for use in the event of nuclear strikes. This is a small UAV with the possibility of compact storage together with ground equipment.
