BM-21M Grad-U Bastion

     Notes: This Ukrainian version of the BM-21 is essentially the BM-21-1 put on the back of the KrAZ-6322 truck, which is itself a heavily-modified and modernized Ural-375.

     The KrAZ-6322 has a 330-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine and a new body, automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes. Unlike the BM-21-1, it does have some updated fire control in the form of inertial navigation and a mapping system as well as some computerized systems, but for the most part is a system designed to be quickly and easily built (and the RL cost is relatively inexpensive).  The chassis includes an extended cab which accommodates all crewmembers as well as their gear.  The chassis has central tire pressure regulation and a 12-ton-capacity winch in the front bumper.

     The Bastion-2 version is the same except for being mounted on a longer KrAZ-6322-121 truck, a longer variant of the Model 6322 above and carries an extra 40-round rocket pack.
