BM-21/China PHL-81 Grad Multiple Rocket Launcher
The Soviet BM-21 Grad placed a multiple-rocket launcher on a truck chassis and became one of the most widely adopted rocket-artillery systems. Its ability to deliver a concentrated salvo influenced later foreign developments, including China’s Type 81 family. Related launchers may share the Grad concept without being identical in chassis, fire control, or exact production history.
Introduced by the Soviet Union in the 1960s, the original launcher carried forty 122-millimeter tubes on a Ural truck. Rapid salvos could saturate an area, but unguided rockets were not precision weapons. The crew could fire and then relocate to reduce exposure to counter-battery attack. Chinese Type 81 development followed access to the Grad concept and adapted it to domestic production.
