BM-27 MULTIPLE ROCKET LAUNCHER, Edward L. Cooper, 1986. The 16-tube, 220-mm BM-27 multiple rocket launcher is capable of firing high-explosive conventional rounds, scattering mines, and delivering chemical warheads to targets over 20 miles away. The Russians used it to provide long-range fire support in Afghanistan and Chechnya. It is in service today with about seven different nations. (DIA Military Art Collection)
