9K512 Uragan-1M
Self-propelled multiple rocket launcher of the Russian Federation
The 9K512 "Uragan-1M" is a Russian multicaliber (220 mm/300 mm) multiple rocket launcher with the ability to swap launch containers, allowing it to use the same missiles as the BM-30 Smerch and Tornado (multiple rocket launcher). It is a modernized version of the BM-27 Uragan.
History
In the mid-1990s, Russia began developing a new 9K512 Uragan-1M bi-caliber rocket system. In 1995, the Bryansk Automobile Plant started designing a chassis based on the BAZ-6910 "Voshchina-1" for the new MLRS. However, due to a lack of funding, all work on its design was stopped at the end of 1996. Simultaneously, the designers at Motovilikha Plants explored the option of basing the system on the MZKT-7930 "Astrolog" chassis. After reviewing the projects, the Ministry of Defense chose the option of placing wheeled tractors on a chassis produced by the Minsk Plant. In this form, the new Uragan-1M MLRS entered testing.
In 2012, tests were conducted on the system. According to the state armament program of the Russian Federation, two regimental sets of Uragan-1M MLRS were to enter service with the ground forces in 2017. According to a report by the RAND Corporation, the initial eight Uragan-1Ms entered service with the 4th Guards Tank Division's 275th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment around that time.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “9K512 Uragan-1M” is self-propelled multiple rocket launcher of the Russian Federation. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through 9K512, Uragan-1M and Self-propelled, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “self-propelled multiple rocket launcher of the Russian Federation” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16271693. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995, 1996, 2012 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
