The 267/122 mm MLRS is designed as a modular system: the modularity is reflected in the possibility of using launch pods loaded with 267 mm rockets and all variants of 122mm rockets of the Russian-made BM-21 Grad (Hail) system.

The Tamnava is based on the chassis of an 8x8 heavy truck, which has been fitted with an armored crew cabin. In the baseline configuration, the Tamnava carries two packs of 122mm rockets with 25 cells in each , or two six-cell 267mm packs. Therefore, the system is armed with 50 122mm or 12 267mm ready-use rockets. According to the manufacturer, the Tamnava has a maximum firing range of 40 km (for the 122mm rockets) or 70 km (for the 267mm rockets). The system also carries two spare 25-cell 122mm rocket packs in its ammunition load.

The vehicle is 10.5m long, 2.6m wide, and 2.8m high. The system is controlled by a three-man crew. The Tamnava is fired from its cabin or through the medium of a remote control panel. The Tamnava’s sensor suite comprises an inertial measurement unit, satellite navigation receiver, and radio. The MLRS is also armed with a roof-mounted heavy machinegun and smoke dischargers.
