The Uragan-1M (Hurricane-1M) is a recent Russian artillery rocket system. It was developed to replace both the ageing Uragan 220 mm system that was adopted back in 1975, and Smerch 300 mm system that was adopted in 1987. Both of these systems are extremely capable and are widely used by the Russian Army. However these become increasingly hard to maintain and keep in operational service due to their age. Especially the Uragan.
Production of its ZiL-135LMP wheeled chassis ceased many years ago. Development of the Uragan-1M commenced in 1995, however in 1996 it was stopped due to funding problems. Development of this system was rather slow. Pictures of the Uragan-1M surfaced only a couple of years ago. Since 2012 this artillery system was trialed by the Russian MoD. It successfully passed trials in 2015.
