Newest Sarma MLRS being created in Russia

Russia is working on creation of a new 300mm Sarma MLRS with increased mobility.

According to Russian media, the system will be able to use guided munitions.

The Sarma MLRS will be a continuation of the Kama MRL project, which was built on the KamAZ chassis.

The new MLRS will have increased mobility and protection, being able, in particular, to use precision-guided munitions.

It is reported that the rocket launcher will be equipped with an improved automated fire control system.

Today, Russian troops use 300mm guided missiles with the Tornado-S MLRS.

Such rocket projectiles are equipped with an inertial navigation system with satellite adjustment, which allows it to accurately strike different targets.

The 9А52-4 rocket-launcher vehicle of the 300mm 9К58 Kama multiple launch rocket system was introduced ​​in 2007.

The launcher had 6 rails instead of 12 (as on the Smerch MLRS) and was created on the chassis of the КамАЗ-6350 with the 8×8 wheel formula.

Currently, three 300mm multiple rocket launchers are in service with the Russian army, namely: Smerch MLRS, Tornado-S MLRS in its modernized version and Uragan-M1 MLRS. The latter system is presented ​​in a small number.

As previously reported, in 2022, imported components were found in Russian missile guidance units for Tornado-S rocket artillery systems.

In the remains of Russian weapons, experts detected civilian electronic items that do not meet military standard requirements. These are parts made for use in household appliances.
