Overview
Overview
The old petrol Ural-375D truck chassis was replaced with a modern one, and the launcher was fitted with a fire control system. The carrier used is Polish 6x6 Jelcz truck model P662D.35 with low-profile armoured cabin for the whole crew. Also new ammunition, Feniks-Z, with a 42 km range was adopted. The prototype was made in 2006 and given to the army in 2007, after successful trials. A series modernization of 75 vehicles followed. Another step in the modernization of Polish rocket artillery is project 'Homar', corresponding to HIMARS rocket system, carried on from 2007.
