A group of Syrian troops in the province of Hama has recently been reinforced by the Russian MLRS "Hurricane", reports Messenger of Mordovia.

Syrian group in Hama reinforced by “Hurricanes”




Experts draw attention to the fact that the launcher shown in the photo is in excellent condition, as if it had not previously participated in combat operations at all.

“Despite the fact that previously there was information about the presence in the Syrian army 36-ti MLRS“ Hurricane ”, in fact, the network all the time flashed several of the same machines. It is possible that the rocket launcher in the photo, in fact, has not yet fought, and she has yet to undergo a baptism of fire, ”writes the author of the material Roman Katkov.

According to military expert Yuri Lyamin, "even before the war, some reference books and publications claimed about the Soviet Union allegedly supplied at the end of the 1980-s of three dozen Uragan MLRSs, but there was no documentary evidence of such deliveries."



Therefore, there is a strong impression that in reality Syria "first received" Hurricanes only somewhere at the end of 2013 — the beginning of 2014. “They appeared in this country with the more powerful Smerch systems. Until February, 2014, there was no evidence of their use, although by this time Damascus had already used all conventional weapons, right up to the tactical missile systems Elbrus and Tochka, ”said the expert.

But from that date, the use of “Tornadoes” and “Hurricanes” by the Syrian army became common, although they were not involved very often.

Lyamin noted that "apparently, we can talk about the delivery of a very small number of cars - probably, Syria received a total of not more than a dozen Tornadoes and Hurricanes together."



For quite a long time, the “Hurricanes” were used mainly in the south of Syria - in the vicinity of Damascus and the province of Daraa. Then, at a minimum, a pair of installations was sent for operations in the central part of the country. They are currently used in the east of Deir ez-Zor, and now they are seen in Hama.

      Hey. Mandatory. If the gun was removed from the wall, the cartridge was inserted, then what? In addition, in the east (Deir az Zor), a mass crossing of the SAA through the Euphrates began with heavy equipment. So the defeat of Daesh is already nearby.

      But the troubles in Syria are still a lot and they will not resolve soon.

    Missile and artillery attacks on infrastructure, and more importantly, to destroy enemy manpower in attack and defense, are crucial on the battlefield, as all recent wars and conflicts have proved. No special forces with magical training can resist the fire raid, after good reconnaissance and proper planning by a competent artillery officer. This is the best means of contactless war. So there are more missiles - big and small on the heads of the barmales!

      This method of warfare has long been used successfully by Americans. Therefore, they do not have the skills to conduct contact combat, and therefore they are terribly afraid to go into close contact combat.

            At the very beginning, when our VKS just appeared in the sky of Syria, I said that the Ishilians did not need bunkers and warehouses to build, but toilets were built in the desert, every meter ... each igilovites and instructor mattress had a separate toilet, where and soak.

        MLRS Hurricane is power!
        its cluster submunitions per volley cover a square: 400 meters in depth by 1000 meters along the front.
        the most beautiful volley is the volume-detonating ammunition

            However, Smerch and Hurricane work excellently against the "non-Papuans," in different guises.

            This was already known in the Second World War, and Katyusha was put on the chassis for this ... In army structures, single vehicles are not used. In general, Tornado, like Hurricane, is an excellent tool for breaking enemy fortified areas. there the whole assortment of ammunition is present and PF, and termite and concrete-piercing and cluster (PF and PT). The only drawback is the lack of an adjustable missile. Serial. If the battery shoots - two - on the ground HELL.

        It has long been known that such systems are good for hitting squares. Their delivery to Syria, a warning to the "opposition" (attack on the military police).
        The maximum cost of a volley that I found in the Foreign Press is: hurricane 240t. $, Tornado $ 1,8mln. This is a foreign version.
        But no one is going to shoot them like a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
        If our and the Syrian leadership went to the total destruction of takfirs, then Tornado-S, and even better Tulip, would have been used.

    Well, what can I add? The transfer of forces and means to those areas where they are most in demand at the present time is being carried out.
    As for the question - how many units are there now, I can assume that in sufficient quantities to solve the tasks. If there was a shortage, they would transfer as much as needed to the Syrian Express.

          I’ll help you here too, suddenly you’ll get confused in the calculations. We take the average annual dollar / ruble exchange rate in 2005 and get the cost of a high-explosive shot of about $ 8000? further * 16 = $ 128000 a volley of one installation. 128000 * 59 = 7 552 000 rubles volley of installation at the rate for 2017. The calculations are conditional, because I do not take into account the inflationary factors of currencies, but if you estimate then about 10 million rubles. volley of one installation.

            You still forgot to calculate how much it costs to dispose of ammunition that has expired. Have you already calculated the "cost" of the life of one of our specialists? Maybe in your opinion to save ammo, shells and missiles you need to strengthen. Are you taking melee? Or is your goal to convince us that in Syria our sun does not belong? Why do you palm off these calculations for us? Do you have on your avatar exactly the flag of the country for which you advocate? Maybe striped is more suitable for you?
