ICM 1:72 BM-14-16 Multiple Launch Rocket System

The ICM 1:72 BM-14-16 Multiple Launch Rocket System is a plastic scale model kit of a Soviet-era truck-mounted rocket artillery system, designed for use in Cold War and post–World War II military settings.

About the vehicle

The BM-14-16 is a Soviet multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) developed in the early Cold War period. It fires 140mm unguided rockets from a launcher mounted on a truck chassis, typically used for area bombardment of enemy positions, fortifications, and troop concentrations.

Compared to earlier systems like the WWII Katyusha, the BM-14-16 represents a more standardised and modernised post-war evolution of Soviet rocket artillery, widely exported to allied nations and used in multiple conflicts during the mid-to-late 20th century.
