The Russians are testing their equipment, much like that BUK missile in Ukraine. Ops...
Stalin's organs. On steroids.
Ccan you imagine the collateral damage/civilian casualties caused by such a weapon. Forget precision, just kill everything?
Just because it can kevel coty blocks doesnt mean it will. The u.s has used mlrs many times
'Forget precision, just kill everything?'
Russia did it in Afghanistan and Chechnya. Bashar al-Assad has been doing it in Syria for years (Syrian army was Soviet-trained, and supported by Russia)
Maybe they should use drones instead?
