"Will shoot at Asian bandits": Poland appreciated Ukrainian MLRS "Alder-M"

«Will shoot at Asian bandits»: in Poland evaluated the Ukrainian MLRS «Alder-M»

MLRS "Alder-M" tested in Ukraine. For the first time, a projectile hit a target at a distance of 120 km. The Polish press hastened to give its assessment of the Ukrainian multiple launch rocket system.

As is known, vplot to 2014 g. Ukrainian armed forces used MLRS "Smerch" with unguided rockets. After the outbreak of hostilities in the Donbass, the need for a modern multiple launch rocket system, according to the Polish press, “became especially acute”.

Ultimately, the then head of state Petro Poroshenko in January 2016 g. instructed to develop a new MLRS as soon as possible. The task was entrusted to the design bureau "Luch" and the plant "Artem".

What is surprising, despite the difficult economic situation, a new complex was created quickly enough. Already 22 Martha 2016 conducted the first rocket tests, 22 December 2017 conducted launches at a test site in the Odessa region, a 24 August 2018 of the year, the first MLRS "Alder" took part in the military parade in honor of the Independence Day of Ukraine.

Now Ukrainian developers are busy testing "Alder-M" – new launcher, which, unlike the previous version, designed for a much longer range of hitting targets - not up to 70 km, and the 120 km.

Eventually 30 and 31 Martha 2020 of the year at the missile test site in the Odessa region, fire tests of Alder-M were carried out. Attempts were made to hit the target at a distance of 120 km with gusty wind. Previously, firing at targets was carried out up to 60-70 km. The Polish edition Defense24.pl writes, that during the test they hit the pole many times, which is a control point for the position of the target, entered into the GPS system.

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov stressed, that the target is in the distance 120 km was hit. However, there is no more precise information about, what kind of object acted as a target and what was the deviation from the given coordinates.

However, at a distance in 120 km, which is characteristic of the current version of the complex, Ukrainians are not going to stop. The next version is already planned with a range of up to 200 km. At the same time, a 300-mm unguided rocket continues to be used., developed back in Soviet times, but subject to certain changes, including through the implementation of solutions from the space industry of Ukraine.

30-31 March 2020 In 2016, the Luch DCKB successfully conducted another test of the #VilkhaM missile with a range of damage at the training ground in Odesa region 120 km.

Besides, MLRS uses a new guidance system, combining GPS positioning with an inertial system (INS). During flight, the trajectory is corrected using small impulse thrusters., located in front of the rocket, and in the terminal phase, aerodynamic rudders are also used, which makes it possible to correct, until the missile hits the target.

However, the reaction of the Polish audience to the information about the launch of Alder-M missiles turned out to be ambiguous.. One of the commentators turned on the usual anti-Russian hurdy-gurdy.

As the Hong Kong flu of the late 1960s remained in the memory of people

We applaud Ukraine. There will be something to shoot, so as not to feel sorry for the Asian terrorist bandits. Russian - kaput, applaud,
– says one of the commenters.

Another user writes, that since Poland does not produce such missiles, she needs to negotiate with Ukraine, obtain a license or establish a joint production of such weapons. Someone Marek writes, that even in 2014 g. it was necessary to purchase the Smerch MLRS and create a similar system on its basis.

But some Poles remembered, that Ukraine can hardly be considered a friendly state to Poland.

Remind uneducated children: Ukraine has never been friendly towards Poland and Poles, even when Pilsudski and Petliura made an alliance. known, what 98% Ukrainians were hostile to Poland. You can write academic books about the hostility of this people towards the Poles,
– writes one of the commentators of the Polish resource.
