According to the information of the departmental newspaper of the enterprise, “from the Tornado-S BM system it is possible to conduct firing at a greater range than from the Smerch BM RSZ and cover it with one salvo (with a salvo of something - one BM, battery or division, it is not specified) football fields. The structure of each projectile includes a flight control system.
As Lepin noted, the “Tornado-S” combat vehicle is fully autonomous and equipped with equipment that ensures the performance of combat missions without leaving the crew’s calculation numbers ”.
