russian invaders are doing what they do best: Looting...........
times do change.....PS I hope turkey starts their own reliance of an engine company for drones than being reliant on Ukraine for the Akinci and MIUS drones like this.Try again next time maybe. Russia is known to deploy its most advanced hardware into Ukraine, and that include advanced MLRS
You could boast all intended use of any weapons (as u usually did), but As I and @Nilgiri pointed out earlier, Russia will struggle to deliver modern weapons system simply because this, or therefore lack of .
There were at least 35 U.S.-made chips found in the Kh-101 cruise missile, including those manufactured by Texas Instruments, Atmel Corp. Rochester Electronics, Cypress Semiconductor, Maxim Integrated, XILINX, Infineon Technologies, Intel, Onsemi, and Micron Technology.
When they opened up the turreted electro-optical system of the Ka-52 Alligator, Ukraine specialists found 22 U.S.-made chips and one Korean-made chip. The U.S. manufacturers included Texas Instruments, IDT, Altera USA, Burr-Brown, Analog Devices Inc., Micron Technology, Linear Technology and TE Connectivity.
Captured Russian Weapons Are Packed With U.S. Microchips
Ukraine intelligence showed us lists of mostly U.S.-made microchips it says were found on captured or destroyed Russian military equipment.www.thedrive.com
Most of these are out of reach for Russia for now. Without these, modern electronics can't work. That includes any modern Russian weapons.
As @noclador pointed out earlier, this is how HIMARS crew operate their fires.
and this is how its adversaries direct their fires.
microchips enabled the former to operate that way.
Still sad that you immediately went to talking about electronics than how those weapons being supplied to Ukraine would save their asses from Tornado systems
not really i dont know why your scared to compare those systems to tornado but soviet gear instead its like the results wont be to your liking or something?I've actually explained this from post #13,189
But to keep this short.
Fire control
Uragan and Smerch have to be sighted optically... and in the case of the Uragan soldiers have to adjust elevation and deflection by turning wheels. Even Uragan's two outriggers have to be lowered and emplaced by muscle power.Optical sights means that it takes the 10-12 minutes to measure and prepare a launch sites and sight a launchers.Firing dumb rockets with optical sight also means that the Uragan and Smerch's accuracy is atrocious... i.e. when a Smerch fires its 12 rockets,then the circular error probable (CEP) is 170 meter. This means only 50% of rockets fall within a 170 meter radius of the actual target... the other 50% will come down even further away than 170 meter from the target. Meanwhile US GLMRS missiles have a CEP of 5 meters.
Choice of munitions.
M31 : 90km
ATACMS : 300km
9M528/9M55K : 90km
9М542 : 120km
/ HIMARS not only could shoot further, more accurate and most important of all faster. This could prove decisive. Just a quick demonstration on what the HIMARS could do using its IFCS fire control system. Notice the speed for it to scoot after it shoot
Russia has almost used up its stock of Iskander missiles, so it rarely uses it in Ukraine. These missiles have proven to be inaccurate by destroying civilian objects.not really i dont know why your scared to compare those systems to tornado but soviet gear instead its like the results wont be to your liking or something?
"It should be noted that the above-mentioned American 227-mm guided missiles of the M30A1 GMLRS and M31A1 "Unitary" families, equipped only with INS and GPS guidance subsystems, are vulnerable to similar domestic ground-based electronic warfare systems (Zhitel and Diabazol).
Secondly, this is an order of magnitude higher accuracy, reflected in the coefficient of circular probable deviation (CEP), which for promising Tula shells will be about 1 m, while the CEP of URS 9M544 / 549 is only 7-15 m, which is due to the accuracy limitations of the GLONASS radio navigation system and 9B706.1 inertial navigation units."
ohhh so thats why you want to go talk about the smerch and uragan instead?
the reload time is 8 minutes for tornado http://www.military-today.com/artillery/9a52_4.htm

M31: http://www.fi-aeroweb.com/Defense/GMLRS.html#:~:text=It employs GPS/INS guidance,Capability (IOC) in 2006. " It employs GPS/INS guidance and has small canards on the rocket nose to improve accuracy. The M31 has a range of over 43.5 miles (70 km). The M31 rocket has demonstrated high effectiveness and low collateral damage while supporting troops in combat. The M31 achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in 2006."

Iskander-M: https://expert.ru/2014/01/27/neulovimyij-raketnyij-mstitel/ That is, "Iskander" can destroy any object within a radius of 500 km with an accuracy of 2 meters and a probability close to 100%. Theoretically, launching a missile from Kaliningrad, you can "get" to the government quarter in Berlin, and the striking force of the blow can be easily increased by "hanging" a nuclear warhead on the missile.
Iskander-K: has a launcher that can carry 4 View attachment 44376 ....
I have not gotten to land based Zircons or probably the 300km 300mm MRLS systems. gave the original picture assuming if you are interested in doing close zoom in screenshots for better translations of their MRLS network

but I guess it will go something like this
1. Use Iskanders to destroy ATACMs
2. Use your own MRLS that already outrange the M270 or for bonus purposes you can even use the Tornado-G to go lay 1000 antitanks mines from one volley not letting them escape without getting blowup 1st.

you can go screw with the Ukrainians from a far enough distance from where they planned on going using either anti-personal or tank mines.

"The heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1 and TOS-1A Buratino have proven themselves in the fight in Syria. A far more impressive weapon, however, is the new generation TOS-2 system, which can burn an area of up to 60,000 square feet." also with a 15km range.
in order for point 3 to work you have to be sure that point 1 and 2 are completed 1st and that the majority of civilians have been evacuated in order to mass annihilate fortifications, soldiers and armored vehicles. but for what reason your advertising the equipment anyways? I am assuming that your saying that if they got NATO equipment they wouldn't be having territory being taken away from t
