Overview of the main Russian landing ships of project 775. As part of the combat readiness check of the forces of the Russian Pacific Fleet, footage of the landing was published, by the large landing ship Admiral Nevelskoy of project 775 / II and the large landing ship Nikolai Vilkov of project 1171. The landing ship Admiral Nevelskoy is the fourth in a series of 13 ships of the project 775/II, which is a development of the Project 775 ships. The Project 775 ships were created to replace the aging Project 1171 landing ships and are the backbone of the Russian amphibious fleet. Project 775 landing ships were built from 1974 to 1985 in Poland at the Stocznia Polnocna shipyard, a total of 25 ships were built. Over the years of their service, the ships have made many trips and have proven themselves well.

The 'Nona' is popular for both sides of the war, underrated because it's old and not sexy. But a self propelled mortar makes sense as it allows you to shoot and scoot quicker than a normal mortar crew. The gunner has to make adjustments within the vehicle but firing it you need to do it outside. Mortars have played a vital part of the war.
The Uragan MLRS plays a strong part for both sides, even though the HIMARS gets more publicity on the Ukrainian side. It is typically used to hit targets behind the front lines such as command posts, troop and vehicle concentrations, ammo and fuel depots.

The 2S9 Nona was supposed to have been replaced by 2S42 Lotos but it has not happened. At least not yet.
Uragan MLRS is utterly obsolete at this point. Both the vehicle and the rockets. Other countries have better systems with similar 220mm rockets. Russia supposedly is to replace this with Uragan-1M but that uses a chassis made in Belarus and so far only has been produced in small amounts.

Or Uragan will simply let to extinct as Tornado-G can supposedly match its range with new rocket while for something big there always be Tornado-S
Uragan and it's rockets will be used until they are finally attrited out or ran out of rockets, then replaced (converted?) to Tornado S. Obsolete doesn't mean it's useless.
Uragan is a big problem, because it's chassis is a huge pain to work with. Ukraine even went as far as rebasing the firing mount onto a new armoured vehicle. In Russia, the plan before the SVO was this (even though the "bigger" platform vehicle is weird). Uragan-1M, as far as we know, is dead.
Uragan-1M was cancelled as far as I could get from Russian forums.
Normal Uragan is okey IF:
1 - They finally make satellite 220mm guided ammo
2 - Thermobaric missiles. In fact, in Russian Telegram channels this is something that is read relatively frequently. The troops want thermobaric ammunition for the Uragan.
