Now please explain how Russia is going to fit an FAB-250 version of the GLSBD into the Tornado launcher, when it is too heavy to fit in the launch tubes. Look up the weights of the bombs and rockets, I did.

If the Russian MOD made this claim, actually showed a mockup, that would have credibility. A telegram channel making claims is not a production run of working weapons.

You’ve got to talk to the Ruskie engineers for that answer, fella, not me. The rest of your reply is just prattling puff. When the FAB 250s, fired from rocket tubes, are raining down on the Ukes, maybe you can ask them.

Forget it, he’s a troll, circular arguments, ignoring or not responding to criticisms.

His posts amount to tinkling cymbals and empty, sounding brass.

He likes to gas on like he knows more than anyone and his own farts smell the best (to him).

As you posted, the FAB-250 with the glide wings is too large to fit in the 300mm launch tube. So presumably the "designer" plans on the FAB-250 to be sitting on top of the rocket, outside of the launch tube, and therefore exerting a lot of torque on the booster in the tube.

It isn't impossible to build launchers and their projectiles like that, an RPG works that way, but it isn't easy to do so either. Stabilizing a rocket with the center of mass, and drag force very close to the front is not easy.
