The BM-21 Grad is a Russian 122mm 122mm multiple launch rocket system developed in the early 1960s. Several other countries have copied it or developed similar systems.
The BM-21 122mm multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) entered service with the Soviet Army in 1963 to replace the obsolete 140mm BM-14 system. It consists of a Ural-375D 6X6 truck chassis equipped with a group of 40 launch tubes arranged in a rectangular shape that can be thrown away from the unprotected cab. In 1976, the BM-21 was installed on the new Ural-4320 with six wheels.
