The RS-122 — a mobile Georgian multiple rocket launcher firing 122mm rockets. It was developed in 2011 and put on production display in February 2012. The DRS-122 is a heavily modified version of the Soviet BM-21 Grad. Its main characteristics are the armoured crew cabin (using elements from MRAP and BAE Caiman), improved firing, as well as operational distance and accuracy. The vehicle was developed by the state-owned Scientific Technical Centre Delta.[1][2]
