Russian artillery doctrine might have been wise back in the 1940s but not today. This gun got better range - which means it can shot at russian artillery without the russian guns have the range to fire back at it. The russian guns are also inaccurate, takes a long time to reload, have low quality ammunition, and they are not easy to move around. And when your precision is so bad do you need to fire large amounts of ammunition to hit a target - and that means more problems with getting enough military trucks that carry ammunition to the frontline. And the risk of getting killed is higher with the short range russian guns that needs to sit close to the frontline to be able to hit something. Russian artillery doctrine has failed. Compared BM-21 to HIMARS. Himars can reload fast and hit targets extremely far away is guaranteed to hit a target within a 4 meter circle from it. And the explosion is so powerful that even if it miss with 4 meters will the targe be killed. But BM21 needs an extremely long reload and its rockets will land somewhere within 250 meters of the target. So even with a huge rocket barrage could the losses on the enemy side be very low because the weapon is so inaccurate.

@lillfetisverige Behöver dom till vad? spränga orcher? jo men det är ju just vad andra gör åt oss så att vi slipper göra det själva. Offrar vi lite plåtskrot så slipper vi spilla svenskt blod istället. Det tycker jag låter som en bra idé. Såna här grejer kan vi bygga mer av om vi vill. Eller så kan vi bygga något ännu bättre istället.
