Footage from the Russo-Ukrainian War. Footage filmed in 2024. From Wikipedia : The BM-21 "Grad" (Russian: БМ-21 "Град", lit. 'hailstorm') is a self-propelled 122 mm multiple rocket launcher designed in the Soviet Union.[9] The system and the M-21OF rocket[10] were first developed in the early 1960s, and saw their first combat use in March 1969 during the Sino-Soviet border conflict.[11] BM stands for boyevaya mashina (Russian: боевая машина - combat vehicle), and the nickname grad means "hail". The complete system with the BM-21 launch vehicle and the M-21OF rocket is designated as the M-21 field-rocket system. The complete system is more commonly known as a Grad multiple rocket launcher system. #military #russia #tanks #ukraine #grad #BM21
