140mm 48 BM-14

The BM-14 is a Soviet-designed 140mm multiple rocket launcher system, typically mounted on a truck chassis. It fires 140mm M-14 series rockets, capable of delivering high-explosive fragmentation or chemical warheads over a range of approximately 9.8 kilometers.

Developed in the early 1950s to replace the aging World War II-era BM-13 "Katyusha" system, the BM-14 officially entered Soviet service in 1952. The system was widely exported to Warsaw Pact allies and developing nations, seeing extensive combat use in the Algerian War, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War. While largely superseded in Russian service by the 122mm BM-21 Grad, the BM-14 remains in active use or reserve status with several nations in Asia and Africa, as well as various irregular forces.
