The BM-30 Smerch is a heavy self-propelled multiple rocket launcher designed in the Soviet Union.
The Smerch can fire 12 300mm rockets and these are intended to destroy infantry, armored and soft targets, artillery batteries, command posts and ammunition depots. The system was designed in the early 1980s and entered service with the Soviet Army in 1989. When first sighted by the West in 1983, the system was coded MRL 280 mm M1983. The Smerch is still in service in Russia, but a program to replace it with the 9A52-4 Tornado began in 2018.
