Uragan MLRS accuracy increased due to Russian ingenuity

Crews changed the method of firing

Artillerymen of the Uragan multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) managed to increase the accuracy of fire. This was not achieved by some technical novelty, but by the ordinary ingenuity of the soldiers, said combat vehicle commander Almaz Zakirov.

The projectile was fired, three seconds between them. And between the projectiles, the machine stopped swaying. Almost like a 'barrel', precisely on target.

Zakirov added that MLRS projectiles are equally effective against both equipment and manpower. Therefore, rocket artillerymen can be called 'universal warriors'.

Recall that the Uragan is based on a four-axle chassis and is equipped with 16 guides for 220 mm rocket projectiles. The system can operate not only in salvo, but also with single launches with fire adjustment.

A standard high-explosive projectile carries a warhead weighing about 100 kg, and the maximum firing range reaches 35 km.
