If possible, then God himself ordered everything that can be tested in real conditions ...

[cariperpaint]

what? ))) a rarity based on 131 ZIL?)))

By the way, grad-1 is not a very popular system, except for the USSR it was armed only in Iraq, and not many were produced.

[Firework]

The simplest, most effective and most convenient rocket weapon for camouflage. You can disguise yourself as an ordinary truck and secretly transfer significant strike forces, with a tornado or a hurricane it will be more difficult to move unnoticed

[Romka47]

Cool stuff! only you won’t be defeated by hail alone, there is no victory where the foot of our infantryman has not gone before.

[Black Colonel]

Our foot soldiers have nothing to do there!

[bazzbazz]

I always believed that Grads, Tornadoes, Hurricanes .... so to speak barbaric weapons and suitable only for the classical war wall to wall. And not for Donbas and Syria !! There are too many peaceful victims.

[Mih1974]

This is from you ignorance, many times there was a video where Ukrainians who fell under "adverse weather conditions" and peace spoke of the exceptional accuracy of LDN attacks. Even from settlements populated ukrovermaht without touching peaceful
In addition, the best weapon of co-battery combat is a quick start, it covers just the entire location of the division along with the "service staff", unlike the barrel artillery, it does not warn about itself with the sound of a shot "unexpected".

36-Grad 1 spotted in Syria

Many things have been noticed in Syria and will be noticed in the future.

[Black Colonel]

The fights do not always take place in settlements

[Mih1974]

Only the Strategic Missile Forces addictively smoke on the sidelines and only hope that they will be allowed to the "training ground".

It’s one thing to fight on foreign territory, but when you have to level your country with the land ...

In Primorye, we had such people ... I wonder if it was from there from storage bases ...

[cariperpaint]

probably not. but what is visible from storage immediately. like new)))

[NKT]

And what was the point of making a “lite” version? To get into somewhere?

[cariperpaint]

it was made for the marines as far as I remember ... I think that is the reason.

The friendly family of Gradov has even more lite ...

[Hermann]

And a very light hail.

[Romka47]

If I am not mistaken for the needs of Vietnam? Even ours in Novoazovsk has one such one for sure)

[Mih1974]

that's how it was. By the way, unlike hailstones, there were often "high-speed strikes" here. Sawing single tanks, roadblocks, etc.

[x.andvlad]

Yes, this version is called the BM-21V Grad-V. Specially designed for artillery units of the Airborne Forces. At one time, in the artillery regiments of the Airborne Divisions, there was a jet division on the BM-21V.

And everything is simple! Either you will equalize them or you will be equalized. Civilian casualties need to be thought before the conflict begins. And then you need to think about how to win faster. Which also reduces the number of victims.

[Falcond]

THERE IS SUCH A PROFESSION - IN SYRIA NOTICE!

classic war wall to wall

This happens only in novels, or at the speeches of Western propagandists (J. Goebbels), where blond knights liberate the peoples of Europe from hordes of fleeting Cossacks.
The realities of the last major war in Europe:
During the operation, which lasted 11 weeks, NATO forces launched more than 2 thousand air strikes in Yugoslavia and consumed 420 thousand of ammunition. Some of the bombs used by the troops were filled with depleted uranium. About 2 thousand civilians and 1 thousand military became victims of the bombing, more than 5 thousand people were injured, 1 thousand were missing. About 200 industrial enterprises, oil storage facilities, energy facilities, infrastructure facilities were destroyed or seriously damaged, including including 82 rail and road bridges. Also destroyed about 90 historical and architectural monuments, more than 300 buildings of schools, universities, libraries, more than 20 hospitals. About 40 thousand residential buildings are completely destroyed or damaged.

On April 12, the parliament of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia voted for the republic to join the union of Russia and Belarus. The Russian parliament at an emergency meeting fully supported the Serbian colleagues. But Russian President Boris Yeltsin blocked the process.
The earth is glassy to him.
And you say wall to wall ...

Grad-1 began to enter the troops of the USSR Armed Forces in 1982. The first to rearm the artillery units in the Far East, and more precisely the jet divisions (batteries) in the Fortified Areas. The firing range of the system is 15,3 km. with its ammunition and 20,8 km. ammunition from the BM-21. Thus, it is difficult to name the new “Grad-1”.

Before! 30 guards MSP (separate, state border cover) in 1978 already had a Grad-1 battery (6 BM).

And it is necessary in the division regiments (there are teams, but there is Grad-21 or Tornado) ..

[Valery Saitov]

It’s necessary to drag all old weapons to Syria, at the same time the warehouses will be freed. There is no need to dispose of ammunition, but here is experience and benefit.
