РСЗО RM-70 Vampire не устояла перед вихрем «Торнадо-С»: названы особенности работы самой мощной и высокоточной РСЗО

The destruction by fragments occurred despite the CEP of 35 m

The Russian high-precision MLRS 9K515 "Tornado-S" struck a western 122-mm MLRS RM-70 Vampire on the front. The circular deviation was about 35 m, but this was enough to cause serious fragmentation damage with the 9M544 guided missile.

The sector of fragment dispersion covered the 122-mm MLRS RM-70 Vampire. The flight speed of the 9M544 missile in the terminal section of the trajectory was 570 - 650 m/s.

The main guidance elements of the 9M542 series guided missiles from NPO "Splav" are 9B706.01 head units equipped with GLONASS/GPS correction radio navigation modules, as well as aerodynamic rudders with servo drives.

"Tornado-S" has 12 guides for 300-mm rockets. The system is capable of hitting targets at a significantly greater range — up to 120 km.

Each munition of this MLRS can receive an individual flight mission and use the capabilities of the GLONASS navigation system.

Earlier, Su-35S fighters were called effective against Western AASM-250 HAMMER and JDAM-ER air bombs. They will intercept R-77-1 missiles at a distance of up to 60-70 km.
