Thunder-2

Product
Developers: Southern (Design Bureau, Piwdenne)
Branches: MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

This OTRK was developed mainly with the money of Saudi Arabia and in the interests of its armed forces, but was never completed.

By the time hostilities began in Ukraine in February 2022, there were a couple of experimental launchers and several produced rocket engines. It is possible that Ukraine could bring to mind the launchers at its disposal and produce several missiles in a year.

Conceptually, Grom-2 is an analogue of the Russian OTRK Iskander-M or the American MGM-140 ATACMS. The mass of the warhead of the missile is 480 kg, the range in export version is up to 300 km, in performance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine - 500 km.

In March 2023, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that the air defense forces first shot down the rocket of the new Ukrainian OTRK "Grom-2."
