Russian Tornado-S MLRS systems show high efficiency in defeating the enemy, while Ukrainian air defense systems and electronic warfare systems are unable to prevent this. This is reported by the Rostec press service.

Guided missiles of the Tornado-S MLRS accurately hit designated targets, despite the opposition of the Ukrainian air defense and electronic warfare, showing a high percentage of damage. The system is capable of hitting at a long range, having in its arsenal various ammunition both for suppressing enemy manpower and for destroying fortifications.

Tornado-S ammunition, based on combat experience, shows a consistently high probability of breaking through enemy air defense lines. Also, guided missiles of the Russian MLRS have an advanced inertial guidance system, which successfully operates in conditions of suppression of satellite communication channels, which is very important in modern warfare, saturated with electronic warfare systems.

MLRS 9K515 Tornado-S was developed at NPO Splav named after A.N. Ganichev. The aim of the project was a deep modernization of the 9K58 Smerch serial system with an increase in all basic tactical and technical characteristics. The result is a car that is significantly superior to the basic version.

The Tornado-S MLRS has 12 guides for 300 mm rockets, and is equipped with an automated guidance and fire control system. ASUNO provides accurate positioning of the vehicle to the terrain directly from the march, and is also capable of aiming each projectile at the target separately. When using old MLRS ammunition, it hits targets at a range of up to 70 km, and new ones — over 120 km.
