The China Scope, 29 August 2008-
Russian Defense companies are ready to transfer to China the “Tornado” multi-rocket technology, reported People’s Daily citing Kommersant.
China hopes with Russian technology, it will complete the research and development of A-100 long-range rockets. Although A-100 is meant to mimic the “Tornado” system, its technical performance lags behind the latter. In particular, the Chinese experts could not develop comparable fire control system to match the flexibility of a rocket.
