The Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan showed a vehicle on which the launcher of the Soviet Uragan multiple launch rocket system was mounted on the tracked chassis of a BMP-2D. A package of guides for 220-mm rockets was placed instead of the standard turret.
The modification differs significantly from the standard Uragan layout. The 9P140 combat vehicle of this complex uses a ZIL-135LM four-axle wheeled chassis, while the Afghan version received a tracked platform of a Soviet BMP. To ensure stability during launch, two retractable supports were mounted in the rear of the hull.
The BMP-2D was created in the USSR specifically taking into account the experience of the war in Afghanistan. It differed from the regular BMP-2 by additional hull and bottom armor, and its combat weight reached approximately 14.5 tons. At the same time, the vehicle retained a 300-horsepower diesel engine.
The Uragan itself uses 220-mm rockets and normally carries 16 guides. Several types of ammunition have been created for it, and the firing range of standard high-explosive shells reaches approximately 35 km.
