LAR-160

The LAR-160 is an Israeli 160mm multiple launch rocket system developed by Israel Military Industries (IMI). It is designed as a lightweight, modular system capable of firing various rocket types from a twin-pod launcher, often mounted on a truck chassis.

Developed in the late 1970s by Israel Military Industries, the LAR-160 was created to provide a highly mobile, rapid-fire area-saturation weapon capable of countering massed armored formations. The system officially entered service with the Israel Defense Forces in 1983, initially utilizing tracked chassis before transitioning to more versatile wheeled platforms. While seeing limited domestic use, the LAR-160 was widely exported and saw significant combat deployment by Georgian forces during the 2008 South Ossetia War and by Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflicts. Today, it remains in active service with several international militaries, and its successful modular pod design laid the technological foundation for Israel's modern PULS multi-caliber rocket launcher.
