It’s Official! Russia received Iranian-made rockets

For the first time, an official video published by the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) showed that Iranian-origin 122mm shells were used in the Russian BM-21 Grad Multiple Rocket Launch System (MLRS). Shortly after the video was published, an account called ‘Ukraine Weapons Tracker’ on Platform X said Iranian 122mm HE-FRAG rockets of the Arash family were used for BM-21 Grad MRLS, an assertion it made in late August. The Iranian 122mm Arash-1 rocket is a high-explosive (HE) electrically launched, surface-to-surface, fin and spin-stabilized fragmentation rocket dupe of the Russian BM-21 Grad rocket. Iranian 120mm mortar rounds are distinguishable by their bright brown color, location of powder charges, and unique markings.
