Engineering:Mini-Grad

From HandWiki

The Mini-Grad (Ukrainian: Міні-Град) is a Ukrainian [1] improvised mobile multiple rocket launcher constructed from BM-21 Grad launch tubes mounted on a pickup truck. [2][3] They have a number of extra features to improve survivability and accuracy at short ranges.[4][5]

Ukrainian forces are known to have been using them against Russian forces since November 2023 during fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region amongst other places. [6]
