M-26 artillery rocket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

M-26 is the basic MLRS rocket. It is unguided with a range of 20mi (32km). It is armed with 644 M77 DPICM (Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions) anti-personnel/anti-materiel grenades, which are dispersed over the target in mid-air and detonate on impact.

A newer, guided MLRS rocket, is called the M-30.

The UK Ministry of Defence has recently announced it will cease to use dumb cluster munitions and will destroy its remaining stocks of the M30
