9p140 uragan

The 9P140 Uragan (Hurricane) is a Soviet-designed 220mm multiple rocket launcher system. It is mounted on a ZIL-135LM 8x8 chassis and can launch 16 rockets in 20 seconds, with a maximum range of 35 km.

Developed in the early 1970s by the Splav Design Bureau, the 9P140 Uragan was created to provide Soviet divisional commanders with a heavy area-denial weapon that bridged the gap between the 122mm Grad and tactical ballistic missiles. The system officially entered service with the Soviet Army in 1975 as the core launcher of the 9K57 weapon complex. It saw its initial combat deployment during the Soviet-Afghan War and has since been heavily utilized in the Chechen Wars, the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Today, the Uragan remains in active service across several post-Soviet and export nations, though it is gradually being succeeded by the modernized, multi-caliber Uragan-1M.
