The BM-27 Uragan (Russian: Ураган, "hurricane"; GRAU index 9P140) is a self-propelled multiple rocket launcher system designed in the Soviet Union. It began its service with the Soviet Army in the late 1970s, and was its first modern spin and fin stabilized heavy multiple rocket launcher.
The BM-27 Uragan is capable of launching 220 mm rockets from 16 launch tubes mounted on the rear of a ZIL-135 8x8 chassis. This vehicle is extremely similar to that used in the FROG-7 free flight rocket system. It has two gasoline engines that power its 20 tonnes to a maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour. One engine drives the four wheels on the left of the truck, while the other engine drives the four wheels on the right. The ZIL-135 has eight wheel drive, but only the front and rear axles are used for steering. It has a maximum cruising range of 500 kilometers.
The cab of the ZIL-135 is NBC protected, allowing the rockets to be fired without exposing the crew to possible contaminants. The four-man crew can emplace or displace the system in three minutes.

The BM-27 Uragan (another designation: 9K57 Uragan) is a Soviet, now Russian, 220mm self-propelled unguided missile launcher from the Cold War and modern times. The weight of the entire set on a mobile chassis is 20.2 tons. The maximum range is up to 35 kilometers. Concept work on the BM-27 Uragan began in the mid-1960s, but the weapon entered service in the Soviet Army only in 1975. The basic element of the system is a 16-guide 9P140 launcher, which was mounted on a specially adapted ZiŁ-135ŁM truck, which is characterized by good properties for off-road driving. The launcher can fire a wide range of missiles with a variety of warheads: high-explosive, high-explosive, and cluster warheads. During the Cold War, BM-27 Uragan launchers were formed into divisions and assigned to brigades and artillery divisions. Their first combat use took place during the Afghanistan war in 1982. Currently, they are used primarily by the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
