bureivy

The BM-27 Uragan is a self-propelled 220 mm multiple rocket launcher designed in the Soviet Union to deliver cluster munitions. The system began its service with the Soviet Army in the late 1970s, and was its first spin and fin stabilized heavy multiple rocket launcher. An updated version known as Uragan-1M was commissioned in 2008. The truck vehicle has no similarities.

Developed by the Shepetivka Repair Plant in the late 2010s, the Bureviy was created to replace the obsolete Soviet ZIL-135LM chassis with a modern, armored platform and integrate advanced Ukrainian battle management systems. Following successful fire trials in late 2020, the system was officially adopted and rushed into active service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2022. It saw its first major combat deployments during the defense against the 2022 Russian invasion, where it was utilized for high-mobility counter-battery fire and long-range strikes. Today, the Bureviy remains in active operational service, serving as a key bridge between Soviet-era 220mm munitions and modern Western-standard tactical mobility.
