Brief History of The BM-21 "Grad"
The BM-21 "Grad", lit.?'hailstorm' is a self-propelled 122 mm multiple rocket launcher designed in the Soviet Union.

@GrandPrix Interesting
@MrCOPTY after some deep research i discovered it serves as a military transport vehicle too. its uncommon but occasionally occurs.
@GrandPrix I Think The Truck Built For This Roles Only

@GrandPrix first of all i took the brief from Wikipedia and the rocket name is made up and is It derived from the name of 2b26 Grad K MLRS (New bm-21 model)
o wait i just researched and they call it the bm21 launch vehicle unlike previous bm katyushas where they named the launcher bm and the model number and the truck would be a generic soviet truck at the time like a zis-5.
do you know the name of the truck itself rather then the rocket launcher because its hard to fond on google.
One day I will make hail out of my Ural ... I hope
Happy Algerian Independence Day
