9K512 "Uragan-1M" is a Russian multicaliber (220 mm/300 mm) MLRS with ability to swap launch containers.
History
In the mid-1990s, Russia began development of a new 9K512 Uragan-1M bi-caliber rocket system. In 1995, the Bryansk Automobile Plant began work on designing a chassis based on the BAZ-6910 "Voshchina-1" vehicles (see BAZ) for the new MLRS, but due to lack of funding at the end of 1996, all work was stopped. Simultaneously with the chassis produced by the Bryansk Automobile Plant, the designers of the Motovilikha Plants worked out the option of placing the system on the basis of the MZKT-7930 “Astrologer” chassis. After reviewing the projects, the Ministry of Defense chose the option of placing wheeled tractors on a chassis produced by the Minsk Plant; In this form, the new Uragan-1M MLRS entered testing.
In 2012, there tests were conducted on the system. According to the plans of the state armament program of the Russian Federation, in 2017, two regimental sets of Uragan-1M MLRS were to enter service with the ground forces.[1][2]
In December 2023, NPO Splav announced the start of delivery of the Uragan-1M MLRS to the troops in the SMO zone in Ukraine.[3]
