In the Russian Federation, they work on improving the missile systems "Tornado" and "Tornado-C": Modernization details
The main purpose is to increase the range and accuracy of firing, which will allow them to bring their capabilities closer to tactical ballistic missiles such as Iskander-M. This was reported on December 16 by Army Recognition. The main attention is paid to aerobalistic characteristics of 9M55F/K and 9m544/549 families.
As part of the modernization, the engineers of the enterprise allegedly improved the shape of the shells, reducing the intersection of aerodynamic drifts and minimizing the performances on the body. This will reduce aerodynamic resistance and improve the flight properties of ammunition. In addition, the shells will use new solid fuel engines with high -impulse fuel charges, which are designed to increase the target damage range to 200 km and improve the accuracy of firing.
In addition to the modernization of existing shells, NGO "Alloy" develops a new supersonic managed rocket with a jet engine, as well as air intakes that can be removed. According to the developers, the rocket will be able to maintain a speed of about 1000 m/s at the final flight area and hit the target at a distance of 300-330 km. If the project is successfully implemented, the observers said, the new missiles will significantly expand the possibilities of the RSSU to strike accurate distances.
"Modernization initiatives are aimed at extending the service life and expanding the performance of these systems in accordance with the changing requirements for range and accuracy of firing," experts summed up. Earlier it was reported that the North Korean M1991 North Korean RSSV appeared in the arsenal of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. These are volley fire systems that are armed with 240 mm missiles weighing 187 kg and are capable of affecting targets up to 60 km.
