“The 9P132 missile system was produced in 1966, and “Grad-P” was created in just 10 days at the request of Vietnamese guerrillas. The installation is essentially a single-barrel analog of the MLRS “Grad” and is intended for guerrilla warfare. The launcher tube is mounted on a tripod, it can be assembled and disassembled in 2.5 minutes. If necessary, the 9P132 installation can launch standard Grad MLRS shells. The “Grad-P” system has long been out of production but still remains in service with several countries. The crew of the installation consists of 5 people. The range of the missiles is 10,800 meters.”
It is curious to see a country using an asymmetric warfare weapon in a large-scale invasion war in an offensive role, this weapon was designed with guerrilla tactics in mind, not for a war of attrition with defined positions
