According to pictures shared on the Ukrainian Army 49th Separate Artillery Brigade’s Facebook page on April 19, 2023, the unit is now utilizing the Turkish-made Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) as part of its artillery arsenal.
According to the SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) Arms Trade Database, since 2015, Turkey has already delivered to Ukraine 19 Bayraktar TB-2 drones, 2 MilGem frigates, and 50 second-hand Kirpi 4x APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) vehicles, but to date, no official information mentions the delivery of Turkish-made rocket launchers.
The Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) is manufactured by the Turkish company Roketsan specializes in the design, development, and production of rockets, missiles, and defense systems. The MBRL is designed to deliver precise fire on critical targets at ranges of 10-280 km, significantly enhancing the brigade’s firepower and operational flexibility.
The MBRL is a highly maneuverable fire support system that is compatible with an array of rockets and missiles, including TR-122 & TRB-122 Unguided Rockets, TRG-122, TRLG-122, TRG-230, TRLG-230, TRG-300, and KHAN Missiles. This wide range of ammunition options allows the unit to engage targets with varying levels of precision and impact, depending on the mission requirements.
