I think you miss the point that modern armies employ arty fire locating radars that track back to the source for counter battery fire. Arty is great but its still vulnerable to enemy too. Look at ww1 and the kilo tons of arty fired off before an offensive - that did little to soften the enemy. Arty is not the end all end all - but just one block in the combined arms battle plan.

yes sure. My point was that Smerch does not need help of other troops or units to find its target.... it can indentify its target without much help.
Arty radars is something I know too few about. Probably used by both Soviets and US.
WW1 experience where fortified positions could not be broke through with fire was cancelled with WW2 experience showing that firepower grew to such a scale that any ultimatelly fortified position could destroyed by concentrated fire power..... be it an artilery or aviation

why MLRS is more advanced with its range, weight of salvo, reloading time and cost?
what did you do to prevent Iraqis making a single salvo on your troops?
