India Wraps Smerch Tests

[yasin_khan]

The Indian Army has received and begun inducting the 36 Russian-made Smerch Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) ordered in 2006 for $450 million.
The Army wrapped up flight stability, accuracy and consistency tests last month at India's missile testing range at Chandipur, in the eastern Indian state of Orissa, Army sources said.
The contract includes combat vehicles, auxiliary equipment, fire control systems, and training.
The Smerch can fire up to 12 anti-surface or anti-air missiles rockets in a salvo. Their range of 70 kilometers, extendable to 90 kilometers, is longer than India's current artillery.
