The 9A52-4 Tornado multiple launch rocket system will be Russia’s newest universal MLRS and is designed as a lightweight and universal version of the BM-30 Smerch MLRS dubbed 9A52-2. It was first unveiled in 2007 as a more strategically and tactically mobile version at the expense of a slight reduction of the firepower. This model is aimed at replacing the current generation of Russian MLRS including BM-21 Grad BM-27 Uragan and BM-30 Smerch. A version will be proposed for export.
