The MLRS is the latest development of the World War 2 era Soviet Katyusha 'Stalin's Organ'. The MLRS is a tracked vehicle mounting an elevating twelve round launcher pack and a forward cab containing the three crew. Fully NBC protected and designed to smash the Soviet tank advances envisaged at the start of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, the MLRS is a formidable offensive weapon system. The MLRS went to the Gulf War in the hands of the Royal Artillery and the US Army. The MLRS has the ability to halt, fire its twelve 227-mm rockets and withdraw in 90 seconds. Each vehicle is equipped with its own inertial navigation system, and each rocket carries either 4 sabots, a number of anti-armour minelets or bomblets. The M-77 bomblet is the most widely used. 688 are packed into each rocket and each bomblet is capable of destroying and severely damaging 'soft-skinned' target (APCs and towed artillery). Sabots are carried in rocket form as well, four per rocket and each capable of penetrating any known Soviet tanks' topside turret armour and putting the tank out of action.
