Russian Multiple Launch Rocket System Uragan
The Uragan or Hurricane 9K57 is a 16-round 220mm multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) manufactured by the Splav State Research and Production Association, Tula, Russia. Splav also produce the Smerch, Grad and Prima MLRS. Also called as BM-27 or 9P140, the MLRS system entered into service in 1977.
The mission of the launcher is to defeat troops and combat materiel in concentrated areas and also to remotely lay anti-tank area denial mines in a combat zone at distances of 10km to 35km.
The system has been battle proven and is in service with the Russian Army and is also exported worldwide. The Uragan has a reputation for high reliability, simplicity and speed of operation and maintenance and a short salvo time. Splav delivered 13 Uragan rocket artillery to Yemen in 1994 and nine to Eritrea in 2007. The overseas operators include Belarus, Guinea, Moldova, Syria, Angola, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Ukraine.
The Russian Army is upgrading Uragan MLRS systems with new navigation and targeting systems.
Uragan multiple launch rocket system
The launcher assembly (6+4+6, 220mm rocket tubes) is mounted on a ZIL-135 8×8 truck chassis. The truck is powered by a 260hp single diesel engine and can accommodate a crew of six. The launcher can rotate through 240°.
In order to fire, four stabilising jacks on the chassis are used, one on either side of the vehicle and two at the back. The maximum rate of fire is two rounds a second. The launchers are lowered and rotated to one side for reloading.
Another truck carrying 16 rockets for reloading is equipped with a reloading arm. A rammer is used to reload the launch tubes.
The 9K57 Uragan uses a range of rocket projectiles: the 9M27F rocket projectile fitted with the HE-Frag warhead, and the rocket projectiles 9M27K, 9M59, and 9M27K2. The Uragan MLRS can fire spin-stabilised rockets loaded with chemical, high explosive and incendiary payloads up to 35km to 40km range.
