BM-27 Uragan

'Hurricane'; GRAU index 9P140) 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.

Before firing, stabilizing jacks must be lowered and the blast shield raised to protect the cab and its occupants.

The BM-27 can use HE-FRAG, chemical, explosive or scatterable mine (PTM-3 or PFM-1) submunition equipped rockets, all of which are detonated by electric timing fuses.

Because of the size of the warhead, the range of the rocket and the speed that a salvo can be delivered, the BM-27 is very effective at mine laying.

On 19 July 2024, it was claimed that Ka-52 was shot down by a BM-27 Uragan rocket, the location and date of the incident wasn't released, however both crew were killed.
