Description

Saturday, March 3, 2012, at the Vaziani military firing-ground, a Georgian-produced MRLS 122mm (Multiple Rocket Launcher System) has been presented. Tactical-technical characteristics of the launch vehicle have been demonstrated in presence of the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and Defence Minister Bacho Akhalaia. The 122mm multiple rocket launcher system is designed to defeat personnel, armored targets, artillery batteries, command posts and fortifications.

The Georgian MRLS has been made on the base of Military Scientific-Technical Center “Delta” in subordination to the Ministry of Defence of Georgia.
