Tests of the new MLRS BM-21B "BelGrad-2" are nearing completion in Belarus

12 2021 June 50

In Belarus, tests of a new multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) BM-21B "BelGrad-2" are nearing completion. This was reported by the press service of JSC "2566 plant for the repair of electronic weapons".

According to the report, tests of the prototype MLRS BM-21B "BelGrad-2" began on June 1 and will last until the 18th. The task of this stage of testing is to confirm the declared characteristics. As a result, a decision will be made to put the MLRS into service with the Belarusian army.

The new MLRS BM-21B "BelGrad-2" is the second modernization of the Soviet MLRS BM-21. The first modernization took place back in the 90s of the last century and consisted in changing the chassis: the Russian Ural was replaced by the Belarusian MAZ.

The second upgrade began in May 2020 and went deeper. A leveling and stabilization mechanism has been developed for the new MLRS, which allows you to take a position for firing on any terrain. A new set of communication and data transmission facilities has been installed. The increased length of the chassis made it possible to install racks between the cockpit and the artillery part to accommodate 40 or 60 rockets for a repeated salvo.

The installation can fire both single shots and a salvo of all types of rockets developed for the BM-21. The firing range is 35 - 40 km. Management is carried out both from the cockpit and from a portable control panel.

The novelty will be shown at the 10th International Exhibition of Arms and Military Equipment "MILEX-2021".

It seems like the Czechs on the Tatra also carried additional ammunition in addition to a package of 40 pipes?

  The RM-70 is only itself rechargeable via a hydraulic system.
  I saw the Grad in the Belarusian army in 2010, in my opinion, in the gasoline Urals, of course they need to be changed.

  No offense, brothers-Belarusians, but "BulbaGrad" would be more image and creative for sales in the West! And so yes, every respected republic of the USSR must release its own modification of Soviet military equipment - "Oplot", "BelGrad", shaitan-pipe ... Hundreds of banana and not so republics will live on the products of the USSR for another 1000 years!

    Yes, what grievances, I strongly agree with you - the truth is, it is the truth. As for what
    "BulbaGrad" would be more fashionable and creative for sales in the West!
    that's how it was created for this. But, as far as I know, this creation was not useful to anyone there, because it does not represent anything significant. In addition, it has a serious drawback - increased sway during a salvo, which leads to a decrease in accuracy. So, in the end, it turned out to be worse than its prototype - BM-21 Grad. Therefore, they started a second modernization (more than 20 years after the creation of the first samples, which, by the way, is very typical for RB).
    In the army of the Republic of Belarus, such tzatsek is at most a division, so that at the parades in Minsk it was possible to show the achievements of science and technology in the countryside. And most of the jet divisions are armed with Soviet BM-21s in the Urals.

  The MLRS chip is the cheapness of consumable ammunition, shoot at the enemy like a machine gun. If you want to shoot with a 122mm caliber corrected shots - take "Kitolov-2M" and shoot from the howitzer.

    Everything flows, everything changes ! The presence of MLRS in ammunition, along with NURSs, URSs is already "a trend, however"! MLRS, as it were, are moving to a different level! By the way, 122-mm URSs are already done! "OU-122" (Russia) ... BRE-7 (China) ... It seems that Turkey has undertaken "something" to do ... but have they completed it or not ... what kind of "marking" - I don't remember now!

MAZ is generally an amazing machine with unlimited potential for modernization .. I would not be surprised if this version provides for a double transportable ammunition load with a semi-mechanical reloading ..

The increased length of the chassis made it possible to install racks between the cockpit and the artillery part to accommodate 40 or 60 rockets for a repeated salvo.

The author is mistaken for a stock of 40 rockets. I was still in the first Belgrade.
