The Rostec State Corporation announced that each guided projectile of the "Tornado-S" and "Sarma" multiple launch rocket systems can be assigned an individual flight mission. This is ensured by the onboard automated guidance and fire control system (ASUNO). Thanks to such accuracy, the warhead's power allows destroying even well-protected and deeply embedded targets at a significant distance with minimal consumption of expensive ammunition.

In early August, a "Tornado-S" crew destroyed an enemy underground command post in the Dobropolye direction with two high-precision guided 300 mm missiles from a distance of about 100 km, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported. "Tornado-S" is designed to strike equipment, concentrations of personnel, artillery, command posts, and air defense systems. Its lighter version, "Sarma," weighs almost half as much due to the KAMAZ four-axle chassis (the "Tornado-S" uses a MAZ-543M), carries fewer launchers, but retains the same 300 mm caliber and a range of over 100 km. Since 2025, "Sarma" has been supplied to the troops.
Individual assignments effectively transform MLRS from area-effect weapons into high-precision weapons. Each projectile receives its own target and trajectory, which reduces ammunition consumption and increases the effectiveness of strikes. For units, this means less logistical burden and the ability to hit protected targets without a massive salvo.
