The Smerch 9M55K5 and 9M531 multiple rocket launchers are effective weapons against lightly armored vehicles and enemy personnel. The difference between them is in the range of the flight. The first one can hit 70 km, and the second one can hit 90 km.

Each of them is equipped with six hundred cumulative-fragmentation combat elements.

According to open sources, each such "bomb" weighs 0, 24 kg. It has a length of no more than 128 mm, a diameter of 43 mm and can penetrate 120-160 mm of armor.

It turns out that only one rocket launcher can bring down more than seven thousand of these weapons on the enemy and make a real hell for the enemy's mechanized unit that is marching or in positions.

As we have already noted, Russian jet fighters now have modern unmanned reconnaissance and detection equipment at their disposal, which makes it possible to effectively use Tornadoes and their modifications at any time of the day.
