Artillery compounds are amplified by heavy systems.
The military told the newspaper about a change in the structure of artillery formations: “Earlier in the artillery regiments of divisions there were two divisions equipped with self-propelled howitzers and one division of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) Grad. The same amount of artillery was in the combined arms brigades. From the autumn of this year, divisions of the 220-millimeter Hurricane MLRS began to appear in artillery regiments and brigades.
As military expert Viktor Murakhovsky noted, with the advent of “Hurricanes” “the firepower of the formations increases significantly.”
According to sources in the Ministry of Defense, in the future, the supplied MLRS will be replaced by more advanced Uragan-M1. About this MLRS little is known. However, experts note that “batch loading of launchers using transport-launch containers will significantly increase the rate of fire”. It is known that in the arsenal of the "Hurricane-M1" there are guided missiles. And thanks to the automated control system (ACS) and the onboard computer system, the MLRS can destroy targets in real time without interfering with the calculation.
In addition, long-distance howitzers “Tulips” and “Peonies” are returned to the connections.
The system's rate of fire has increased multiple, - said Victor Murakhovsky. - Now you can quickly recharge and give not one, but two volleys, without changing positions. Such opportunities are especially in demand in areas where the enemy is actively engaged in counter-battery struggle.
In addition to long-range howitzers and MLRS artillery brigades and regiments will receive unmanned reconnaissance complexes with automated control systems (ACS). The appearance of an unmanned artillery reconnaissance system (BKAR) “Orlan-10” will seriously affect the tactics of combat.
As reported to the publication in the military, "Orlans" were tested at the end of last year. From the autumn of this year, the complexes began to enter the army.
"BKAR" Orlan-10 "consists of several UAVs, an information analysis and processing station, as well as an automated control system," explained the Ministry of Defense. “The complexes are equipped with miniature radio reconnaissance stations that allow the detection of enemy command posts, firing positions of the MLRS, cannon artillery and communication stations.”
