Serbian rockets for the Grad MLRS with a range of up to 40 km have appeared in service with the Ukrainian military. About it report Ukraine Weapons Tracker analysts.
Serbia sold 3,500 missiles to a third party, probably via Turkey, who then shipped them to Ukraine. Moreover, according to analysts, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received missiles with a doubled range from 20 to 40 km. They were installed on a specific rocket engine with a rectangular trailing edge of the chord.

Also in the photographs, the marking of the missile, which is typical for G2000 missiles, has been changed. Analysts say this could mean the manufacturer or exporter knew the missile’s final destination was Ukraine. So they tried to hide it. At the same time, the authors claim that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had these ammunition a couple of months ago, but they did not publish the photographs.
