A photograph of the first model of the launcher (PU) of the Iskander operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) has appeared online. The system is made on the BAZ-69501 chassis.
Experimental wheeled launcher Br-1555-1 / range mock-up of the launcher (1991) - the development of self-propelled unit prototypes was carried out by TsKB Titan.
The prototype of the two-missile launcher Br-1555-1 was developed on the basis of the BAZ-69501 chassis by 1991. At site 4C of the Kapustin Yar missile range in the summer of 1991, several drop launches were carried out from the unit, including salvo two-missile launches.
The development of the launcher on the BAZ-69501 chassis was not completed. At the same time, it was initially believed that there was a separate range mock-up launcher, but, as it turned out, this is not true.
