Some elements of missiles for Russian rocket launchers will be made of polymers

Separate elements of missiles for Russian multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) can be replaced from metal to polymer, said “Star” Alexander Smirnov, former director of JSC NPO Splav at the time of filming. According to TASSin February, Rinat Idrisov was appointed Acting General Director of the enterprise.

“We are not standing still, and, already receiving feedback from the troops, we understand that this system (MLRS.—“b”) can be significantly upgraded. And including a significant reduction in the cost of products. We plan to use composite materials to a greater extent,” Mr. Smirnov said.
