The Ukrainian military destroyed the enemy Grad-1 122mm multiple rocket launcher.

Videos of equipment destruction were shown in the 100th Territorial Defense Brigade of Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ukrainian defenders used FPV kamikaze drones for destroying the Russian MRL on the chassis of the ZiL-131.

For the destruction of the 9P138 Grad-1 launcher, several drone hits were required, which were equipped with shaped charge warheads.

These are warheads from a PG-7 rocket-propelled grenade, which is usually fired from a RPG-7 hand-held grenade launcher.

These ammunition are specially designed to destroy armored vehicles. Also they are actively used to equip kamikaze drones.

“The hostile MRL caused considerable trouble to our units. But, “everything has its own termination” the military wrote.

Therefore, the soldiers of the FPV Drone Company “VORON 100” tracked down and with the use of FPV-drones destroyed the Russian Grad-1 rocket launcher.

Soviet 9K55 Grad-1 122mm MRL, the launcher of which under the designation 9P138, mounted on the chassis of the ZiL-131 truck, was created on the basis of the more common BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system and has 36 tubes for rockets instead of usual 40.

The system was created as a lightweight alternative to BM-21 at the regiment level for motorized rifle regiments and marine units and is quite rare, because only 500 such MRL have been manufactured.

Before the start of a full-scale invasion, most of the Grad-1 in the Russian Federation were in storage. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian military has already captured Russian MRL of this type, during the liberation of the territories.

Earlier, the artillery of Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed two BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket systems of Russians in the Luhansk region.
