Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
I have been reading about TOS-1 and BM-21 Grad (which we have plenty of) systems lately.
I have an idea that may be implemented here and produced in Armenia.
TOS-1 has a caliber 220 mm and BM-21 120mm. The only reason that TOs-1 is so feared is because it uses a thermobaric warhead. But has a limited range of 3-4 Km. Grad has on the other hand a 30 Km range.
We allready produce thermobaric projectiles for our light mounted lounchers.
How about we develop and change grad warheads with thermobaric tips of our own. It may be smaller and only half powerful each, but can reach deep and with a salvo of 40 rounds per launcher.
It certainly will be bigger still than what we make.
This will be very inhumane and fearfull weapon because it can reach deep population settlements and devastate villages and towns with fire in minutes by using just one or two lounchers.
Unlike the rumors from enemy of Armenia developing dirty bomb( which has no point except bad PR), this ordinance and system are not outlawed internationally.
This will be the terror for the enemy. Unlike conventional projectiles where damage is measured by shrapnel hits, this will burn and destroy much wider area completely regardless. You fire 40 rockets on to a settlement and combined heat and shockwave will mesmerize enemy.
If proven by action our military industry can have a niche to develop a market internationally in supplying tens of Countries that own BM-21.
I did some research for BM-21 projectiles and found all to be fragmentation warheads except 9M218, which is described as heat projectiles. But closer look reveals in reality it is a cluster ammunition warhead. Maybe it was called as heat rockets by soviets to avoid international bans?
