Russian rocket artillery will completely switch from the Smerch systems to the advanced Tornado-S systems in three years.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russian rocket artillery brigades will be rearmed from the Smerch systems to modernized Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) by 2020, Russian Missile Troops and Artillery commander Gen. Mikhail Matveyevsky said Monday.
"The rearmament of all missile brigades to modern Iskander-M missile systems and rocket artillery brigades to large-caliber Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems will be completed," Matveevsky said, describing plans until 2020.
According to Matveyevsky, the planned rearmament from large-caliber MLRS Smerch to upgraded MLRS Tornado-S starts in 2017.
Matveyevsky added that serial deliveries of Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled guns (SPG) to the Russian army would also begin by 2020.
The long-range 300-mm Tornado-S MLRS, manufactured by the Splav Research and Manufacturing Company, can fire at a range of 120 kilometers (75 miles) and strike an area of over 60 hectares (150 acres).
The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV SPG with a 152.4 mm 2A88 gun was first unveiled at the Victory Day parade on May 9, 2015, in Moscow and is expected to supplement and then replace the 2S19 Msta self-propelled howitzers in the Russian Army.
The new complex will excel its predecessors by the firing range and will be armed with precision munitions and a new automated control and guidance system
"The rearmament of all missile brigades with the modern Iskander-M missile system and rocket artillery brigades with Tornado-S large-caliber multiple launch rocket systems will be completed," the general said, speaking about plans through 2020.
The planned rearmament with Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems is beginning in 2017, he said.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said earlier that the serial production of Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems was planned to be launched in 2017.

I've always respected Russian arms and weapons systems on all spheres for the following reasons:
-reliability and simplicity,for which the AK is famous
-speed of dsigning, testing,productionizing and induction of FULLY MATURED NEW PRODUCTS,the mk1 works as reliably as later variants; case in point Armata with a whole new class of AFVs based on the platform
-tactical innovations based on real life combat,e.g. Relikt and similar systems;til now no Western MBT has an APS.
