Ukroboronprom develops BМ-21 UМ Berest
Ukroboronprom has developed a new 122mm multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) combat vehicle, the BМ-21 Berest.
Based on the Kraz 4X4 off-road cabover chassis, the BМ-21 Berest will replace the 122mm BМ-21 Grad vehicle in service with the Ukrainian Army. The new MLRS provides more firepower, improved fire precision, new digital control and guidance systems, advanced mobility and shortened ready to fire time compared to the Grad.
The system’s digital fire control system allows the crew to perform artillery survey without leaving the cab. It offers increased an firepower of 50 rounds, and can receive precise enemy positions in real time from networked UAS, counter-battery radar and other surveillance systems.
The vehicle has wide tyres and a tyre inflation system for rugged terrains. Two fuel tanks of 165 litres each provide range of up to 600km. The vehicle can travel at a speed exceeding 90km/h.
