Послужний список

Значення для конфліктів

Це єдиний запис каталогу для цієї системи. Вона стосується модуля нижче; Force Atlas кожного модуля показує, як її там застосовують.

Оператори

Armenia: Ordered in 2022 with the Akash systems and anti-tank munitions in the first Indian arms package; deliveries reported from 2023. Neither government has published the delivered quantity.

Роль на полі бою

Area fires and counter-battery at ranges the tube artillery cannot reach.

Сильні сторони

A modern salvo system from a supplier with no political conditions on the Armenian side, and the first step in rebuilding the deep-fires gap the 2020 assessments named.

Обмеження

A system whose delivered quantity and integration are reported rather than confirmed, and whose effect depends on the drone reconnaissance that Armenia is also still buying. No numbers or basing are recorded.

Візуальна ідентифікація

Twelve tubes in two six-tube pods on the rear of an 8×8 Tatra truck; the twin-pod arrangement on a truck chassis separates it from the single block of the BM-21 and the larger Smerch.

Задокументоване застосування в конфлікті

Delivery reporting only: Indian and Armenian media reported first shipments in late 2023 and further batches in 2024, with the Armenian government confirming the Indian arms relationship without itemising it. No operational use, and no public display in Armenian service, is documented. The module tracks the purchase under Armenia's procurement diversification, not as a fielded capability whose effect can be read.
