Why this BM 21 Grad Rocket Launcher from the 1960s is still in service & How it works #rocket

#Bm-21Grad #ukrainewar
This is the BM 21 Grad used by both Ukraine and Russia as well as 30 other countries which was developed in the ninety sixties, but it is still being used to this present day.

In this video we will look at how this system works, How to fire the missile using the basic artillery system technique and Why is it still an effective low budget rocket launchers.

This is a weapon is base on a standard Six wheel Ural-375D truck just like this one.

While the back of the trucks sits the Artilery part of the combat vehicle.

This is the lifting mechanism of the Rocket launchers.

Moving to the side is the Panoramic Periscope Sight PG-1M.

This is designed to enable precise laying of artillery weapons in the vertical or horizontal plane during direct fire and from covered positions.

This circular object is the Rotatary Object responsible for rotating the turret or missile guides.
#BM-21 Grad #rocketlauncher #ukrainewar
This the tubular guide that can houses 40 barrels of missiles and it could fire two missiles per second.

This Truck has a length of 24 feeth 1 inches 7.35 meter

It has a width of 2.4 meter which is smaller comparing to it’s newer and heavier Uragan missiles truck just like this one.

Cost of the Rocket.
Credits "Burning Sinner"

These rockets are actually $350-450 a pop for all non-guided ones.

Well, russian military doesn't pay the export pricetag for anything. My numbers are essentially 2004 (Nothing to see here, officer, 15 years has passed) price tags adjusted for inflation (In Russia, you have global multipliers rolled down by the feds. Feds never pay more than infation adjustment rates, that's why inflation rate is one piece of data you can actually trust on, every factory depending on the government lives and dies by these multipliers).
These don't adjust for new tech though. Laser cutting should have sliced the prices significantly (Bulk of the price for HEFI rockets is for all the thin rods being cut into ready-made fragments. I know that new rods are cut with lasers, but I no longer involved in the system to give you the exact numbers on the internal math).

I heard a claim that grad missiles costed (in 2005) costed 6000 to 60000 roubles, which was like 200 to 2000 dollars. So, the price in your video seems like the upper boundary

[deven]

Keep in mind 2000 is an export/sale price, meaning it costs the manufacturing country far less for domestic acquisition

Very effective way to delete a wide margin of

Grads falling over our heads was very often in Beirut in the 80s. I survived many, the sound it makes when passing over is scary, and you can hear each explosion approaching closer and closer to your basic shelter (a kitchen or a ground floor of a building)

[surplus]

Got the pleasure to travel in an old camperized 6x6 soviet surplus Ural... They are simply unstoppable, desert, mud, snow, ice... Even whit a basically an house on his back we managed to go in some nasty zones... Beautiful machine

[Dimology]

i was a kid during Yugoslav wars and my hometown was often shelled with MLRS. Yugoslav army was using 8x4 128mm HE, 32 missile system.
It's the scariest thing you can hear on the reciving end. The sound of firing comes faster then the missiles and then you can just count and hope it wont hit your house. Has enough explosive to destroy a brick house and two of my close neighbours lost their houses from it. Really scary shit...

[imrekalman]

Fun fact:
In every Russian/Soviet Tank and Motor Rifle (mechanised infantry) Division there is an artillery regiment, which contains a rocket artillery battalion with 18 BM-21 Grad launchers, 3 batteries with 6 launchers each. Some Motor Rifle brigades also have a Grad battalion.

BM 21 is designed to destroy enemy concentration points. It was constructed at a time when real wars were being fought. Larger armies.

Russian solider here
Grad is produced still by now, but new versions are called "Tornado-G". They have crucial upgrades which make this system more capable: new system of calculation of target (computer instead of a "dude with ballistic calculator", hence crew now is 2 men instead of 3), new chassis, faster timing of preparation for fire and leaving after it, and new missiles, three types. First - with larger range (up to 40 km), second - precision guided (by GLONASS as a Russian GPS, basically GMLRS but smaller), and third with cluster anti-tank munitions (small cumulative granades)

The only thing worse than a BM-21 is more than 1 of them working together.

This system was first used in 1969 during the Sino-Soviet Border Conflict.
He demonstrated his effectiveness by eradicating any Chinese presence from Zhenbao Island.

Himars is for striking an ammo or even a sam site meaning it has accurate yet very limited fire. While this bad boy has not so good accuracy but covers huge swathes of land and if used in pairs or even in a group of 3 or 4 this can clear neighborhoods in urban combat.

[heavent]

In 1998 Ethiopian and Eritrean border war happen, every time the Ethiopians invaded with their large soldiers, the Eritreans used this and artillery to stop the invasion and it worked, in the end, the Ethiopians lost over 123, 000 soldiers and Eritreans lost 19, 000 soldiers.

[beesmarter]

Thank God I found this channel. Is is very amazing to understand everything in such a beautiful way.

[Younoggww]

Ur channel is way to underrated.I love the info that you share

[terrynewsome]

The himar is a 70km sniper rifle, the grad is a 3 tone machine gun.

Please next make a video about the Russian mortar system 2B9 "Vaselyok"

[privatesocialhandle]

I Iove your videos. But I would like chime in with my personal opinion on why this system is still in use and so effective. I know you mentioned the cost of the rocket and damage it can output compared to that cost. In addition to that, and I think is the "hero" part of the system, is the truck itself. These trucks have 3 plus points:
1. Cost: the truck itself is so damn cheap compared to armed options in term of production, operation, and maintenance.
2. Mobility: these trucks can literally go anywhere.
3. Durability: not only these trucks can go anywhy, but the can endure the journey.

Great video as always.
