It is a 127mm system with a wheeled launcher vehicle, and fire control equipment developed by Armscor.

[2] Contemporary models consist of a single launch module with five eight-cell rocket pods on a Unimog or SAMIL-100 carrier.

Its mission is to engage in counter-battery strikes against hostile artillery and air defences as far as 36 km (22 mi) away.

In the second world war, its use by Soviet Union became famous: Katyusha rocket launcher or "Stalin's organ".

The system is inspired by the Soviet BM-21 Grad, which was deployed against South African expeditionary forces in Angola during Operation Savannah.
