New Russian multiple rocket launcher hits targets over 32 hectare area
11:22 GMT 05.07.2010 (Updated: 19:52 GMT 19.10.2022) An upgraded version of the Smerch multiple-launch rocket system was displayed at a military-equipment exhibition in Zhukovsky near Moscow. Developers say the new model is primarily intended for the export market.
The scaled-down Smerch (Tornado) multiple-launch rocket system weighs 25 metric tons or almost two times less than the basic version. Designers say this was made possible by reducing the number of launch tubes. The killing zone was also reduced from 67 hectares to 32 hectares. This is the only drawback, developers say. But the new system’s other specifications match those of the older model.
