People on here still repeat the nonsense that russia's Tornado-S is a better system than M142 HIMARS... based on the two system's @Wikipedia articles...

1) All russian weapon stats are lies.
2) All russian weapon stats are lies.
3) All russian weapon stats are lies.

I will use an example with random numbers to give you an idea how russian military weapon stats come to be:

1) russia's defense industry comes up with a new weapon system - real range: 80 km, real accuracy: can hit a football field 50% of the time.
2) they report this to the
2/4

Kremlin as: range: 100 km, accuracy: can hit a football field penalty area 80% of the time.
3) Kremlin releases that as: range: 120 km, accuracy: can hit a football field goal area 100% of the time.
4) russian propaganda news then turns this into: range: 160 km,

3/4

accuracy: will score a goal 120% of the time.

And then the russian propaganda nonsense becomes the source for the weapon's stats on wikipedia... and because it is on wikipedia people believe it as being true.

Again: all russian weapon stats are lies.
