Russia deals heavy blow to Ukrainian Armed Forces with 'unique' weapon
(Baonghean.vn) - Military Watch magazine reported that Russia has carried out attacks using the unique Tornado multiple rocket launcher system targeting foreign mercenaries in the Nikolaiev region.
Ria Novosti quoted an article by Military Watch assessing the power of Tornado - a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) - the weapon that dealt a heavy blow to the positions of foreign mercenaries in the Nikolaev region.
Military Watch rates the Tonardo as a “trump card” due to its large destructive radius and extremely accurate missile capabilities. The publication notes that the MLRS has been produced in Russia for the past few years.
Tornado is a multiple launch rocket system in service with the Russian Army. Variants of the system include the Tornado-G and Tornado-S models, each with its own characteristics and combat roles.
Tornado-S is the longest-range and most powerful rocket artillery system in the world. Each system carries 12 launchers, which can fire salvos or single missiles. The maximum range of the missile is 120 km.
Tornado-G is designed with 40 launch tubes and divided into 4 rows. Each standard Tornado-G missile weighs 70 kg, with a warhead weighing 25 kg. Tornado-G has a range of 30 km, capable of penetrating 60-100 mm of steel armor.
The Russian military first confirmed that the Tornado-G system was operational in Ukraine in November 2022. Russia estimates that it has about 180 Tornado-G systems in stock./.
