A1. ADD/RUSSIA/TORNADO MRLS/APR 2011/C2/6 & 12 ML 300mm SMERCH Rockets/ These are updated versions of the SMERCH rocket that are GPS guided. It can carry multiple munitions types and can still launch the unguided versions. The key here is the improved operability of the system from the launcher which is much more maneuverable, air mobile and much easier and faster to reload. This is the replacement for the BM-21 GRAD which is taking place at this time. The Max. range is 70km and 90km with a specialized rocket.

The problem with adding it is that in the game its advantages (guidance, mobility etc.) are not visible, as such systems are now off map only and "guidance" is simulated, to the extent it is possible, via FOs. Therefore all you are going to get in practice is a cheaper Smerch launcher with far fewer rockets.
