The LVRS M-77 "Oganj" is an self-propelled multiple rocket launcher made in Yugoslavia. Development started in 1968. Professor Obrad Vucurevic, Mechanical Engineer at the time, and Chief operating officer of the Artillery department of Military Technical Institute, developed and managed construction and production of the M-77 Oganj.[1]
The prototype, based on a FAP 2220 6x6 truck, was shown to the public for the first time in 1975 and was initially known in the West as YMRL-32. Series production started five years later. The M-77 is mounted on FAP 2026 6x6 truck bed. The rocket system is placed on the back of the platform with 32 128mm launch tubes with a range of 20,600 m. The crew consists of 5 men.[2]
