Soviet Uragan News Today

After rolling Bureviy rocket launchers out of their hiding places in the woods of the Donetsk region, Ukrainian artillery teams can quickly start firing rounds at their enemy. RFE/RL correspondent Maryan Kushnir met crews there who say they are regularly stopping the advance of Russian infantry with the upgraded version of the Soviet Uragan system. Mounted on a heavy-duty Tatra vehicle from the Czech Republic with improved controls, they claim it gives them an advantage over their Russian foes.

Ukraine is deploying its relatively new, locally built Bureviy multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) against Russian targets near Kharkiv. The Bureviy (Stormy, or Hurricane) is a modernized version of the Soviet Uragan system. An RFE/RL photographer captured a frontline unit on the attack.
