The invention relates to the field of weapons, and in particular to means and methods of conducting offensive or defensive operations with the use of rockets, for example, "Tornado", in particular, to the use of complexes for rockets with increased combat effectiveness in salvo firing, bursts and single shots directly on the battlefield position.

Known multiple launch rocket system according to US Pat. RF №2277687, MKTU F43F 3/04, publ. 06/10/2006, which contains a wheeled chassis with a wheelhouse, a package of tubular guides with screw grooves and horizontal and vertical guidance drives of a package of tubular guides. A gyroscopic system for measuring the guidance angles of the tubular guide package is additionally placed on the package of tubular guides, and a console for setting the guidance angles of the package of tubular guides and a comparison device are located in the conning tower, the outputs of the gyroscopic measuring system and the console for setting the guidance angles are electrically connected to the input of the comparison device. The output of the comparison device is electrically connected to the drives of horizontal and vertical guidance of the tubular guide package, and the removal of the longitudinal axis of each tubular guide from the axes of horizontal and vertical guidance of the tubular guide package does not exceed a value determined by a given mathematical expression.

The disadvantage is manual reloading of complexes after each salvo.

Known articulated self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system according to the patent for the invention No. 2273815 dated 11/01/2004. This invention relates to the field of armament, in particular to an anti-aircraft missile system, which is made in the form of a base machine containing two extreme and one central section suspended between them by automatic device, with the possibility of uncoupling the extreme sections from the central. The central section is equipped with a radar station for illuminating targets and guiding missiles. Launching units with redundant control panels and an anti-aircraft guided missile launch system are installed at the extreme sections. The implementation of the complex allows to increase its maneuverability and reduce the length of the column during the march. However, the method of firing from this complex has several disadvantages:

- the impossibility of firing rockets with volley, bursts, and generally shells of the type "Smerch", "Hurricane", "Grad", and others of a similar class;

- the inability to transport, load launchers with such rockets;

- a significant decrease in the speed of movement on the march when reaching a combat position, since it is on a tracked track;

- the impossibility of delivering combat shells after firing their first salvo at the enemy.

However, the opposed complex has some common signs of firing with the claimed method of firing from the proposed complex - this is the ability to load the launcher with live shells in a combat position and the ability to transport these combat shells on a march to a combat position.

The aim of the new invention is to increase the combat effectiveness of firing rockets of the "Smerch" type in one gulp, bursts and single shots by providing quick charging of a combat vehicle with a launcher by a set of rocket shells using a transport-loading vehicle of the complex located directly and constantly with the fighting vehicle, on which the launcher is located.

Famous multiple launch rocket launcher according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2400692, IPC F41F 3/04, publ. 10.27.2010 g, prototype. In this multiple launch rocket system, rockets containing a combat vehicle with a launcher in the upper part, and one transport-loading vehicle on a multi-wheeled chassis.

The combat complex has many disadvantages:

Low survivability of this combat complex. He does not have his own armor, cannon and small arms for conducting close combat after firing rockets. The combat readiness and firepower of the complex is very low, its reloading takes a long time and in the inconvenient relative position of the complex's vehicles.

The objectives of the invention are improving the survivability of the complex, its combat readiness, firepower and accelerating reloading.

The solution to these problems has been achieved in a way to increase the combat effectiveness of firing with a complex of multiple launch rocket systems, such as "Tornado", in a combat position, based on firing rockets with the subsequent loading of the launcher from a transport-loading vehicle, in accordance with the invention, in each complex to a combat the transport column on the march includes two vehicles, a combat vehicle with a launcher and a transport-loading vehicle with rockets, and a transport-loading vehicle before the charge march the number of rockets, a multiple of the number of trunks of the launcher launcher of the combat vehicle, and placed in cartridges, while the combat vehicle with the launcher in the convoy is located ahead of the transport and loading vehicle and maintain a safe distance between them when moving this complex on any roads, and upon arrival at a combat position, a combat vehicle with a launcher immediately enters the battle and releases all rockets on the attacked position, depending on the situation of the battle, in one gulp, in bursts or single shots, and then charge the combat vehicle with rockets, and after that the multiple launch rocket system makes a second attack.

The invention is illustrated in figure 1 ... 4, where:

- figure 1 shows a drawing of a combat vehicle with a launcher,

- figure 2 shows a drawing of a transport-loading machine with rockets,

- figure 3 shows a drawing of a combat vehicle with an anti-aircraft machine gun,

- figure 4 shows a drawing of a transport-loading machine with an anti-aircraft machine gun and large-caliber aviation machine guns.

The combat complex (figure 1 ... 4) contains a combat vehicle 1 and a transport and loading vehicle 2.

Moreover, the combat vehicle 1 is made on the basis of the tank and contains a caterpillar undercarriage 3 and a turret 4 with a gun 5, while the launcher 6 is mounted on the turret 4 of the tank, with the possibility of rotation together with the turret. On the launcher 6 in a combat state placed rockets 7 (combat kit).

The transport and loading machine 2 contains a multi-wheeled chassis 8, a reloading mechanism 9, which, in turn, contains a drive 10, a transmission 11 and levers 12. Missiles 7 are placed in cartridges 13.

An anti-aircraft machine gun 14 can be placed on the launcher 6, an anti-aircraft machine gun 15 and large-caliber aviation machine guns 16 can be installed on a transport-loading machine 2

Comparative analysis shows that the claimed invention differs from the prototype in that each complex of military transport columns on the march includes at least one conveyor-loading vehicle with a multi-wheeled chassis for accelerating movement and reloading and one tracked fighting vehicle based on a tank with a launcher. Moreover, the transport-loading vehicle before the march is charged with the number of rockets, a multiple of the number of trunks of the launcher of the combat vehicle, and the rockets in it have warheads against the side of this vehicle, while the combat vehicle with the launcher in the convoy is located ahead of the transport-loading vehicle and maintain a safe distance between them for the entire duration of the movement of this complex on any roads, and when arriving at a combat position, the combat vehicle immediately enters the battle and releases all the reagent missiles at the attacked position depending on the situation of the battle — in one gulp, bursts or single shots, after which it is set in such a way that a transport-loading machine is placed at its side with its rear end and thus orient the warheads of the rockets in the direction of charging the launcher on a combat vehicle, then the missile launcher of the combat vehicle is charged with rockets, and after that the multiple launch rocket system re-attacks the combat position, depending on the situation with the need to shoot in one gulp, bursts or single shots, and the transport-loading machine is immediately sent for the next batch of rockets, with which it continues to charge the launcher on the combat vehicle until the end of hostilities, and the second transport-loading vehicle can also arrive.

Therefore, this technical solution meets the criterion of "novelty." To determine whether the proposed invention meets the criterion of "inventive step", an analysis of the characteristics of the identified analogues is carried out. Given that the proposed technical solution has a new set of features that for a specialist do not explicitly follow from the existing level of technology, it meets the criterion of "inventive step". The proposed method of increasing the combat effectiveness of firing with a complex of multiple launch rocket systems, for example, "Tornado" in a combat position, allows to provide:

- autonomous topographic location and navigation, which allows firing from an unprepared firing position in a topographic and geodetic relation, guidance of a launcher guide package without leaving the crew from the cockpit of a combat vehicle and without using a pickup point;

- launching rockets in one gulp, bursts and single shots from the cockpit and using the remote control from the rovik at a distance of 50-60 meters or from the tank tower

- loading and discharging the launcher using a transport-loading machine of the complex in any sequence;

- Passability in the snow, swamp and desert sand,

- the number of guides of the launcher - 3 ... 5 pcs,

- rocket caliber 840 ... 1440 mm,

- full reload time - up to 10 sec.

The proposed method of increased combat effectiveness of firing a complex of multiple launch rocket systems, for example, "Tornado" in a combat position is as follows. Before the combat march, 3 ... 4 rockets of the launcher launcher 6 of the combat vehicle 1 complex are fully loaded using a transport-loading machine 2. Then this transport-loading vehicle 2 of the complex is also loaded with 9 ... 25 rockets of a caliber from 840 mm to 1440 mm, this all missiles 7 on it have warheads in the direction of the volley, and the machine itself is placed on the march behind the combat vehicle with a launcher. Almost every ready-made complex on a march in a combat transport convoy consists of at least two vehicles, a combat vehicle 1 with a launcher 6, which is located ahead of the transport-loading vehicle 2 at a distance safe for movement of this complex on any roads at any time of the day. The number of rockets 7 in the transport-loading vehicle of the complex is a multiple of the number necessary for the salvo in the launcher 6 of the combat vehicle 1 of the complex. A complex with one combat vehicle 1 and several transport and loading vehicles 2 is possible.

Upon arrival at the combat position, combat vehicle 1 immediately enters the battle. The transport and loading machine 2 is placed in cover. But when the combat vehicle 1 has consumed all the rockets 7, it is set in position so that a transport-loading machine 2 can be placed on its side to its side so that the rockets are guided by 7 warheads in the course of loading the launcher of the combat vehicle and load one warhead kit. After the transport-loading vehicle 32 has moved to a safe distance, the fighting vehicle 1 with the launcher 6 will perform the necessary shooting at the attacked target, depending on the combat situation, in one gulp, bursts or single shots, after all combat sets of the transport-loading vehicle 2 have been fully used up, it is sent for another a batch of rockets 7, which she continues to supply launcher 6 on a combat vehicle 2 until the end of hostilities.

The application of the invention will allow:

Increase firing range.

Increase the caliber of rockets to 1440 mm or more.

Increase the firepower of the installation 10 ... 20 times.

Increase rate of fire 4 ... 5 times.

Provide reliable and complete automation of the reloading process of the launcher with large caliber shells.

Improve the invulnerability of the combat complex ..

To ensure a more stable position when shooting the tank selected as the basis and firing from the side, in addition, this allows to increase the number of rockets and their caliber.

The proposed method of increased combat effectiveness of firing with a multiple launch rocket fire system allows you to hit:

- means of nuclear attack in areas of concentration and position;

- tank, motorized infantry and infantry units in the areas where corps reserves are concentrated;

- command and control posts and communication centers of the enemy;
