Azerbaijan used Pakistani and Belarusian MLRS when launching attacks on Karabakh

During remote strikes on the positions of Armenian troops in Karabakh, Azerbaijani troops used the Pakistani-made KRL-122 MLRS and the Belarusian B-200 Polonaise.

As indicated in the Army Recognition publication, the KRL-122, also known as Gadab, is a 122 mm rocket launcher based on the BM-21 Grad. Originally mounted on an Isuzu truck chassis, it was later adapted to the Reo M35 platform. In the video published by the Azerbaijani side, the MLRS apparently uses the Ural-375D as its base.

The B-200 Polonaise is a Belarusian 300mm MLRS that can launch various types of missiles, including guided and unguided with a variety of warheads. It maintains accuracy within a 30-meter deviation even at a maximum firing range of 200 km. It was first introduced in 2015. The modernized Polonez-M version boasts an increased fire range of up to 299 km.

For many years, Azerbaijan has been actively preparing for a military confrontation with Armenia, buying military equipment mainly in non-traditional markets for 2000-2010, including Turkey, Israel, Belarus, and Pakistan. As a result, Baku was able to acquire systems for launching remote strikes, bypassing the unspoken embargo in this segment by the West and Russia.

30 meters of deviation from the target upon impact at 200 km is a lot for the Polonaise MLRS. The Tornado-S in the SVO achieved 100% target destruction at a distance of 120 km. There was an article today.

It was previously reported that work on the latest high-precision guided missiles for Tornado-S with a range of up to 200 km is currently being completed, and they have already begun to develop versions of ammunition with a range of up to 300 km.

Targets for such missiles and ranges are area, not point. This is not Himars

[Orange Bigg]

Tornado-S in the Northern Military District zone with its missiles with a range of 120 km now operates like HIMARS. It accurately destroys S-300, HIMARS.
The Tornado-S MLRS fires standard and high-precision missiles, as was said, at 120 km with the prospect of increasing the range to 200 km.

And "Tornado-S" is already firing at 120 kilometers. The developers say that the flight range in the near future will increase to 200 km.

"Tornado-S" is equipped with GLONASS satellite navigation and a new computerized fire control system, which significantly increased the already good shooting accuracy. In addition, Tornado-S provides the possibility of introducing an individual flight mission for each projectile. That is, missiles can not only hit areas, but also find their specific targets, including moving ones, and are guaranteed to hit them. It is for this purpose that the ammunition load includes cumulative projectiles that destroy enemy armored vehicles. One missile can contain several such shells, which, when approaching, say, a column of enemy equipment, scatter, search for and destroy their target.

"Tornado S" - our answer to "Hymars"
Himars attacks on Donbass cities are becoming less frequent. Unfortunately, missiles from this American MLRS still come to us, but not so often. The “Himars” found control - the Tornado S multiple launch rocket system. It is not only highly accurate (like Himars, it is guided by satellite coordinates), but also significantly superior to its American counterpart in terms of firing range: 120 km versus 80 (and is expected to arrive soon new missiles that will even fly 200 km).

The crew of the Tornado-S multiple launch rocket system of the Western Military District during a special operation destroyed an American HIMARS MLRS with a guided missile, the Defense Ministry reports.

Footage of the destruction of the S-300PS air defense system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Nikolaev region appeared on the Web. The corresponding video is an addition to the operational report of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation dated August 14 on the course of the NMD for the previous day.

The attack on the enemy was carried out from the 9K515 Tornado-S MLRS, which was deeply modernized back in 2012 by the 9K58 Smerch, using 300 mm caliber guided projectiles. We are talking about 9M542 adjustable ammunition with a detachable high-explosive fragmentation or cluster warhead with a firing range of up to 120 km.

You can forget about area goals a long time ago. The conflict in Ukraine showed this. You need to place the package in a small apple and not fly past the target.

[Vadim S]

Yes, even Chinese ones, why bother?! They prepared, took the matter very seriously, and that’s why everything worked out for them. I’m not for anyone in this conflict, to say the least, I don’t care at all, but the fact itself: one shouted and flirted with the powers that be, hoping for something. The second one calmly prepared, strengthened, planned, and did, and finally there was peace in the region. End

Yes, even Chinese

You guessed it. The missiles there are Chinese.

It’s interesting that “dad” begged from “Putin’s friend” the latest air defense systems, SU30, etc. Why are there no MLRS "Polonaise", "Polonaise M" with a range of 200 km in the RF Armed Forces??? 30m for an MLRS at 200km is not a bad performance!
These systems could provide significant assistance at the beginning of the SVO and even now. So far, ours are announcing the appearance of similar systems, and if they exist, they are in extremely insufficient quantities.
We don’t have it, but the Mameds do.

[cold wind]

Because China does not supply us with any weapons. Even drones have to be purchased through workarounds. Polonaise is a Chinese missile on a Soviet chassis.

The Armenians opened fire on the peacekeepers. There are dead.
I sympathize and condole with the families of the boys.

Sadly, they have no brains. Now they won't find it enough.

[Neo-9947]

Are they really Armenians? Have they been caught and are they interrogating them?

There is no one else there - the rear area. Maybe they were confused by fear, or maybe because of the abomination of their nature. The car with the peacekeepers was fired upon from small arms. The peacekeepers' command and Azerbaijani investigative agencies are looking for criminals. Yes, all the Armenian “militia” there are terrorists from a purely legal point of view. According to the terms of the 2020 peace treaty, they had to disarm or withdraw to Armenia. And they stayed, banditry, mined everything and set up ambushes... like partisans. And so they attacked a Russian patrol.

[Azerbaijan2023]

Some bastards fired at the peacekeepers in Karabakh. There are dead people :( Guys, can anyone check the information? Do they write in Russian channels? I wonder what kind of ........ did this.

[Vrotkompot]

Considering who Armenia is following, I wouldn’t be surprised if NATO saboteurs were allowed in... These can only shoot in the back.

It was reported on TV news. No details yet. Literally according to the given text.

[Ovsigovets]

And these bastards turned out to be Azerbaijani military personnel.... And they didn’t just shoot.... But they hit and killed...... I don’t care about the Armenians. But now it became interesting to ask you - what to do now with these bastards? Your suggestion?

[vovochkarzhevsky]

But Azerbaijan doesn’t use this?

[MAESTRO_33]

If you mean helicopters, then as far as I know, helicopters were not used in the last operation.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

If you mean turntables,

I mean that the Russian Federation also sold weapons to Azerbaijan.

Maybe she sold it, or maybe it was inherited from the Union.
It looks like this is a Mi-24 from our squadron that was based in Sangachal. Our air defense division. They were introduced into our staff after being withdrawn from Afghanistan in 1989, to intercept light-engine intruders like Rust on the Tsesna. The pilots on them were simply aces.

However, in the photo there is a Mi-35.

[Pushkowed]

Apparently, a consolation “prize” for Armenia will soon come from Pakistan - recognition of its independence.
If anything, due to the existence of an independent unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), for a long time Pakistan did not recognize the existence of the Republic of Armenia. And he considered its territory the territory of... who? Azerbaijan? Turkey? Or maybe the Soviet Union?..
