Fiery retribution: the Russian Defense Ministry publishes footage of the work of the calculations of the MLRS "Grad" on the positions of Ukrainian nationalists

After each shooting, the vehicles covertly change position, reload and strike again. For target designation and fire adjustment, artillerymen interact with UAV crews.

The BM-21 Grad is a Soviet truck-mounted 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, developed in the early 1960s. The development of the 122 mm BM-21 Grad divisional-level RSZO took place in the mid-1950s under the guidance of the Splav Scientific Production Concern at Tula. The BM-21 122 mm multiple rocket launcher (MRL) system entered service with the Soviet Army in 1963 to replace the aging 140 mm BM-14 system. The main role of the BM-21 Grad system is to support the division with suppressive fire to counter anti-tank missile, artillery and mortar positions, destroy strong points and eliminate enemy nodes of resistance on the immediate battlefield.
