Top five jet systems of volley fire of domestic and foreign production

IA "Weapon Russia ”offered for consideration new ratings of military weapons and equipment, in which foreign and domestic models of weapons are involved.

At this time, an assessment of MLRS from different producing countries has been carried out. The comparison took place according to the following parameters:
- power of the object: caliber, range, area of ​​action of one salvo, time spent on the production of salvo;
- object mobility: movement speed, range, full recharge time;
- operation of the object: weight in combat readiness, the number of combat and technical personnel, ammunition and ammunition.

The scores for each characteristic were given in total, the total score of the RZO systems. In addition to the above, the time characteristics of production, operation and use were taken into account.

The following systems participated in the rating:
- Spanish "Teruel-3";
- Israeli "LAROM";
- Indian "Pinaka";
- Israeli "LAR-160";
- Belarusian “BM-21А BelGrad”;
- Chinese "Type 90";
- German "LARS-2";
- Chinese WM-80;

Comments

[Lech e-mine]

Three volleys of Tornado - and there are no more Saakashvili’s troops (sounds good).

[Jaguar]

840 thousand sq. M. Is 0,84 sq. Km. So it’s not enough for the Georgian army 3 volleys

[Anatoly]

one volley is enough for them to put in their pants.

[barakuda]

judging by the August warriors of the Scaras, the Russians will put everything in their pants. The Georgian artillery worked better than the Russian artillery.

[barakuda]

and you think that we will not answer? should upset you

[barakuda]

yes mumble

[Dmitry Toderes]

You have already drained your entire army. You have 400 out of 100 tanks left. This is after a meeting with the Russian army. Lost so lost - admit that you crap and 1/3 of the country lost - they themselves are to blame.

[SIBIR38RUS]

More interesting .......... :) :) :) Three volleys of Tornado - and no more fighting :) :) :) :) :) :)

[SIBIR38RUS]

I personally really liked the Indian MLRS system :) I’m very reminiscent of it, The defeat area is large, the mobility speed also counts, the defeat area is also pleasing, the recharge time is minimal, like ours, the number of charges leaves much to be desired. The Chinese system does not cause any emotions except laughter and surprise :) :) :) Pindos as always surprise ....... The beginning of development in 1996 :) Our city has been participating since 1964. SO HOLD :) Well, so what? :) Pindos, as I understand it in the deep w ......? :)

The Americans began developing the MLRS in 1977, and began producing in 82. And this MLRS was the most powerful before the release of the Soviet Tornado

[esso]

I don’t agree with you before the release of the tornado, we had a hurricane, the characteristics of which the MLRS did not reach! At the same time, the Hurricane with its excellent characteristics is older than MLRS by about 10 years.

[Jaguar]

Quote: Esso

a hurricane whose characteristics MLRS did not reach

Especially the reload time of 4 minutes does not reach 15

[esso]

At one time, reloading is not an argument. Specialists evaluate complex components. Of course, the American MLRS system has a more developed electronics system and is well-oriented on the ground, but this class of vehicles is not always necessary, they are rarely on the front line. Hurricane full salvo time 20 sec .MLRS 1 minute. Hurricane patency is better. Until MLRS reaches the place of reloading. For some reason it gets on tractors. The hurricane can already be reloaded. The accuracy of shells hit on both systems is the same. Our system is unpretentious in maintenance, it works freely in the desert, for example. They can’t boast. According to the combination of military characteristics, military experts give preference to a hurricane. Although it is technologically outdated compared to the MLRS.

[marauder]

for Pindos, too, you can rejoice.
All the same, China and India were ahead.

[755962]

HIMARS is more like a tactical one. (inertial + GPS)

[Jaguar]

But you can shoot at long range without losing accuracy. And for the Tornado I’m sure will do it too

[dred]

I am glad that domestic rzso in the first place.

[Mr. tank]

Now it remains only to find out - in which rank?

[Civil]

That's it, and what are the evaluation criteria

[Mr. tank]

Quote: Civil

That's it, and what are the evaluation criteria

- Potsriatism. The hail is brought to a lot, already surprisingly. And about the tornado is not particularly.

[Artemka]

But how else, there are no world analogues to tornado.

[Mr. tank]

Quote: Artemka

But how else, there are no world analogues to tornado.

- In what? Size is not important, Tornado is a powerful weapon, but not a world-class fountain.

[SergeySK]

What is the fountain? Comparatively desirable!

[mox]

What is the difference:
1- Belarusian “BM-21A BelGrad”;
2. Domestic "9R51 Grad";
3.Ukrainian "BM-21U Grad-M";

'Is this a find the 10 differences contest?

[Mr. tank]

I’m from Ukraine, I don’t hide it - the Ukrainian one is called the Bastion in different indices. And there are differences with the performance characteristics of the BM-21.

[79057330785]

The chassis is different, and so many countries are armed with the MLRS system of 40 guides 122 mm on different chassis and ammunition are interchangeable. The first to copy the Chinese after the capture in Vietnam of our city

[79057330785]

[Greyfox]

Do you really believe in the objectivity of this "rating"? You begin to doubt the awareness of the "ratingists", if only because in the photo of "Tornado-G" I personally counted ((as well as others) only 30 guides. And the photo here shows the usual "Grad".
http://www.militaryparitet.com/teletype/data/ic_teletype/13334/ . ИМХО : "Рейтинг" составлен в духе передачи "Угарная сила"- ".....не имеет аналогов в мире......"

[Lech e-mine]

HA HA You will fall under the volley of TORNADO - you will believe.

[SergeySK]

What is the analogue? And give your rating

[Mr. tank]

I’ll leave the city - but the Jews somewhere - + nearby. A tornado is powerful, but not the best in the class. By the way - like, too, there was a criticism of the MO Tornado right?
This is what I say so streamlined.

[runway]

The article made a lot of inaccuracies in comparing MLRS systems, which cast doubt on the objectivity of the conclusions made by the author.

[Greyfox]

That Lech-e-mine
If you fall under a sapper blade, you will also believe that it "... has no analogues in the world ...". What's next? Let's make a rating of sapper blades, proving that the Russian sapper blade is in the first place in the rating?

[Lech e-mine]

And what do I agree

[saratt]

Pindos is heavier than a shovel)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) he knows about the analogs of lekh)))))))))))))))) or no)))))))))

[SergeySK]

By the accuracy of the defeat (with one missile), the Tornado has no analogues; it is proved sure that Tornado-S has not gotten worse! And if for you this is not a rating indicator, then what is the power reserve?

By the number of types of ammunition to the article, too!

[Jaguar]

Quote: SergeySK

By the accuracy of the defeat (with one missile), the Tornado has no analogues. This is proved.

What about American and Israeli rockets with GPS?

[rumpeljschtizhen]

and not an article ........... it is ridiculous from such comparisons ala ulya patreotskaya ............... it infuriates ...........

[stas52]

Well, why do we have this, We have all shit just because of us. When pendos tout their weapons, this is an objective assessment, and when they start touting our weapons, it is either a deflection if you are a foreigner or a patriot cheer.

[Andrey77]

Soviet weapons are cheap and easy to manufacture. If we make a price / efficiency rating, the good old "Grad" will be on the first line by a huge margin.

[WADIM]

and you think so, on average ... and our systems are good, and they are no better no worse ...

[rumpeljschtizhen]

stas52 not figs to take an example from them and why not engage in Sao-deception ..... I’m for objectivity ..... since ours in something worse needs to be recognized and corrected ... and not how to do ostriches

[Andrey77]

Yes, that's right. Only, as always, one of the main characteristics of any weapon is not considered - the price! You checkers or go (fight)?

[mox]

Where in the article the word price occurs at least once?

[SergeySK]

Why is Tornado worse and why? You mumble nothing!

[X-SPIRIT-X]

The second place in the top ranking gets domestic MLRS 9K51 "Grad"

I wonder how it is if there is a Belarusian “BM-21A BelGrad” - a significant modernization of 9K51
Caliber 122,4 mm
number of guides 40
rocket weight 66,4 kg
firing range from 1,6 km to 20,75 km
start time 20 sec
reload time 7 minutes (shells from the platform)

[Kars]

Ratings are always controversial.
And somehow it’s not clear why in one rating the different-sized MLRS
since it’s not very - compare 320 mm settings with 122-130 mm

And so from 122 mm I like Chinese Type 89 more like

[avdkrd]

I liked the technical specification for Pinaka - weight in combat readiness almost 6 tons.

[datur]

each sandpiper praises its swamp!

[Jaguar]

It is strange that in the list of MLRS from which they chose 5-ku, there is no Brazilian Astros-2

[Tatars]

It is not clear why the tornado did not hit. He surpasses hail by 2 times

[SIBIR38RUS]

Honestly, I’m more than sure that the tornado is no longer news ........... For us, ordinary citizens are pushed as the newest, but in fact in the parts and design bureaus there are probably secret and many times everything it is superior. Our defense industry will not calmly spread all the latest developments into the global network. And how many people put a signature on non-disclosure ........ and work their whole life at a research institute without the right to travel abroad. Probably, how many of our equipment are annually registered by Pindos satellites in our territory in the photo under awnings and tarpaulins, how many rocket launches we don’t know about and the media journalists culturally closed their mouths, more than I’m sure Ours have something to answer to the pondos, but until it comes time of war (God forbid, of course) we will not see these developments. And if the war begins, then according to tradition, the Airborne Forces, infantry, explosives, a small part of the Air Force, artillery, and will not use anything powerful and strategic from the first steps. For a snack they’ll leave.

[wk]

and I would have awarded 1st place to the City, the Tornado, with all its characteristics it will never get wide distribution and the City will not replace!

[SergeySK]

You either sleep in the same boot or do not know how to read! Tornado-G is essentially a Grad only with automated fire control!

[SergeySK]

And here is another article that is a reprint from the website of the Weapon of Russia Information Agency! Just look at the composition of the editorial board so that doubts about the competence of the rating are reduced!

[wk]

Quote: SergeySK

The city has already gained confidence, and the Tornado is yet to come .... it's like with the AK - 47 and the new AK - 74 ... and so on, who is more popular, even with the best characteristics of the new models, it's like the T 34 and T 55, yes T 55 is more perfect, but the glory of T 34 is not covered by anyone.

[Andrey77]

You can launch a shot towards the Grad from the Grad itself, the Tornado and the hell knows where, right down to the knee of a fighter (Grad-P). I am the sheikh of a small state, they propose to replace the old "Grad" with "Tornado". Change? Or a waste of money?

[Kars]

Quote: SergeySK

doubts about the competence of the rating diminished

The leader of the top rating - the domestic system "Tornado"
The main characteristics of the system:
- ammunition caliber 122 mm;
- total number of guides - 40 units;
- range - up to 100 kilometers;

Do you want to say that 122 mm ammunition will fly 100 km? Or, all the same, this range when using another ammunition ammunition such as 300 mm? Does it seem like Tornada is positioned as a bicaliber system?

[mega_jeka]

What the ??? What criteria made up this rating. Incidentally .... it would not be sad, but the Pindos RZSO is very cool. It can shoot different types of ammunition, including high-precision GPS-guided ones. As already mentioned above, it is more tactical RZSO ...

[SIBIR38RUS]

FUNNY !!! And at the same time takes pride in our defense industry! Block the GPS signal! :) and ours can, and there is no need to argue with me. FACT!

And I would like to know where exactly the fact and prove! ! !
Progress for a long time with precision weapons. It allows you to suffer less loss during the fighting .... THIS IS A FACT
Of course, I am a patriot of my country, but lately there has been less and less pride in the defense industry and space. Almost everything that we now show as innocence is still the work of the GREAT COUNTRY under the name of the USSR ......
And there’s nothing funny, you have to cry ......

[mega_jeka]

SIBIR38RUS,
Yes, I almost forgot ... military satellites cannot be put into orbit here, then they lost the phobos-soil and even got in touch with it. But other Pindos contacted and measured its parameters. So what’s the blocking of the GPS signal))))))))))) THERE IS REALLY FUNNY .... more precisely sad .....

[suharev-52]

Yeltsin and his successor Putin destroyed the military-industrial complex. GDP began to pay attention to the defense industry recently. He believes that if he allocates money, then tomorrow everything will be in chocolate. Will not be. We have lost a bunch of unique technologies over these 20 years. The almost completely design Soviet school was lost. So far we are leaving the USSR from the groundwork. I am no less a patriot of my country, but I won’t shout that we’ll tear everything to x ... Over the past 20 years, we ourselves have armed our potential adversary. And let us not be lulled by power. We will have to fight with China. This is clear as twice two. We do not want to fight, then we must voluntarily surrender the Far East and Siberia. No. Means war. And not because China is so bloodthirsty. He also has a stalemate. Like this.

[- = KeepeR = -]

The rating is of course so-so, but Tornado, Tornado and Grad out of competition - this is proved by numerous tests and applications. HIMARS shouldn’t be here at all - it’s OTRK, it needs to be put in the line of comparison with Iskander, well, there It’s very difficult to compete with Iskander.

[Jaguar]

Quote: - = KeepeR = -

HIMARS should not be here at all - it's OTRK

He shoots and unguided rockets, so you're wrong

[ytqnhfk]

he shoots them, then he shoots but it’s the exact one that’s being violated, and the principle is being violated, ordinary uncontrolled ones would have been compared for comparison and everyone was normal and could all compare!

[sergiosenin]

Give MMM tornadoes two, and preferably three, I will give one to our army (Russia).
the question is, how many of them do we have ??? here we say (obviously PR defense) ha type boys and we have the best equipment in the world and technical specifications but here we’ve got a couple of them standing on the stand with dust covered and our army, so to speak, the most faithful ally bought for example a batch of 20 pieces? and what? and everything can be said but no here it is necessary to understand that a potential adversary constantly spends huge amounts of money on upgrades and produces units of this or that equipment to hell ... and we, and that we, we always clap our ears and possibly in a potential world war again, we will spend millions of lives of our citizens because of corruption and recklessness?

[Andrey77]

Slowly replace the old equipment with a new one. A potential adversary does not have a wand. And they will have to fight in large numbers with M16 (A2), whose trunks are still remembered by Vietnam. Squeals are incomprehensible - everything is fine with them, everything is bad with us ...

[oleg-sochi68]

Andrew! You're right. And this publication is true. Comparisons are made, for some reason, when Westerners use the most modern ammunition, and ours take antediluvian. And even in this situation, domestic systems are at a good level, so that different villains would not say !!!!!!!!!!

[Vertep]

Well, unsubscribe for the fact. Served with the City, Wonderful machine! Though in gasoline, even in diesel. The most important thing in It is Simplicity! wait a half a year, the village brake knew what and how to do it. Plant a current on a tornado. so don’t soon throw my darling out of the army,
to put a muzzle on a straight salvo and send parcels a little.
ZY in the military registration and enlistment office after the fire restored the docks. to the question about the position, "platoon commander" - oooo, + "commander of BM 21" were you a commander on an armored personnel carrier? And these are the questions I was asked by Major Artelerist

[Pilot]

That Satan is cool!) And a tornado even very much!)

[79057330785]

Forgot about "Prima", 50 guides instead of 40. It is interesting to work in this direction, and also to create thermobaric ammunition for the entire line of MLRS-the power of the salvo will grow

[Risiana]

I came up with a new flash car. Volley fire fires 30 missiles upwards, and falls on the enemy like a ballistic missile from the sky. The area of ​​defeat is 250 thousand square meters. The flash can also shoot nuclear charges.

[Risiana]

As everyone praises this tin, they created a good car, and now what next? In real combat, it’s difficult to use such weapons.

[NordUral]

Incorrect rating, more precisely for the current situation in Syria, incorrect.

Turkish Armed Forces deployed T-300 Kasirga ("Hurricane") multiple launch rocket launchers (MLRS) in the Syrian province of Idlib.

The battle range is up to 100 km.
