Maharashtra: Indian Army, in its biyearly practice of military power display, launched 240 BM–21 Grad rockets in just 60 seconds at Deolali’s artillery range of Nasik here on Friday, June 29.
Six launchers were parked in the military exercise area consisting of about 40 tubes on a whole.
This Russian made artillery is capable of travelling upto a range of 20-45 km and is of 122 mm caliber.
