The "Tornado-S" multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) has achieved 100 percent accuracy when firing. The crew is ready to start working at any minute, practically on the move, without prior preparation, said a mechanic-driver with the call sign Stary.
In his opinion, everything in the "Tornado-S" was done "smartly", so it is a pleasure to operate. The mechanic emphasized that automation and autonomy ensure the operation of the "Tornado-S" at any time of the day.
The unpretentiousness and omnivorousness of the installation allow the effective use of various ammunition types. The accuracy of hitting when using modern shells reaches 100 percent.
Another important factor in such excellent results, Stary called the quality of communication. There are no problems with it either - the signal is always stable and clear thanks to modern domestic radio stations.
We have "Azarts", this is our domestic military radio. It is perfectly encoded, it reaches tens of kilometers through repeaters. We often use it during work. Adjustments are mainly made via the Internet, via fiber optics. The commander sits on IP phones and transmits coordinates to me.
As a reminder, the "Tornado-S" was adopted in 2015, but 11 years later, active modernization of the equipment continues. Engineers of NPO "Splav" created improved 9M542 shells for the MLRS — during the tests, the circular probable deviation was reduced to 1.5 meters.
