The T-107/122 MLRS is designed to generate rapid, high-density rocket fire against area targets. Unlike conventional tube artillery, it emphasizes saturation firepower within a short timeframe, making it particularly effective in suppressing enemy formations, logistics hubs, artillery positions, and air defense assets.

Operational Role and Mission Profile

The system operates primarily at brigade and corps levels, providing indirect fire support during offensive and defensive operations. Key mission sets include:

• Area suppression and neutralization
• Counter-battery fire
• Disruption of enemy troop concentrations
• Deep tactical strike against logistics and support elements
• Fire preparation before maneuver assaults

The 107 mm configuration is optimized for short-range, high-volume area fire, while the 122 mm configuration offers extended range and higher warhead effectiveness.

Doctrine and Employment Concept

A standard T-107/122 battery may consist of:

• 1 × C-107/122 Command and Control Vehicle
• 6 × T-107/122 Launch Vehicles
• 6 × L-107/122 Ammunition Resupply Vehicles
• 1 × M-107/122 Meteorological Vehicle
• 1 × R-107/122 Maintenance and Repair Vehicle

This modular organization enables autonomous operations, including target acquisition integration, ballistic computation, fire execution, and logistics sustainment.

The system can receive targeting data from UAVs, counter-battery radars, or forward observers, allowing integration into modern digital fire support networks.

System Architecture

The architecture consists of four primary layers:

Sensor and Targeting Layer

• External systems such as UAVs and target acquisition radars provide coordinates.

Command and Control Layer

• The C-107/122 vehicle processes target data and calculates firing solutions using meteorological inputs.

Launch Layer

• The launcher is mounted on 4x4 or 6x6 tactical wheeled vehicles, equipped with hydraulic stabilization systems.

Logistics Layer

• Dedicated resupply vehicles with onboard cranes enable rapid reload operations.

Accuracy and Engagement Process

The system integrates:

• INS (Inertial Navigation System)
• GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
• Ground-based meteorological measurement systems

Salvo intervals can be set between 0.5 and 2 seconds. Unguided rockets rely on ballistic accuracy, while guided 122 mm rockets such as TRG-122 and TRLG-122 significantly improve precision depending on configuration.

Survivability

• Deployment in under 5 minutes
• Shoot-and-scoot capability
• Optional armored cabin
• Optional overpressure NBC protection system

These features enhance survivability against counter-battery threats.

Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• High fire volume
• Modular ammunition options
• Integration with digital fire control systems
• Rapid mobility

Limitations:

• Lower precision in unguided rocket variants
• High ammunition expenditure rate
• Not designed for air defense roles

The 122 mm configuration shares operational similarities with the T-122 Sakarya system.
