notes

"The 9A51 Prima launcher assembly incorporates 50 launch tubes, a thermal shroud, and a remote electronic fuze setter. The remote fuze setter increases the ease with which the crew can adjust to changing target situations. Small boxes on the upper right surface of the exitEND OF THE LAUNCHER TUBE CONTAIN THE FUZE SETTER FOR EACH ROCKET. THE LAUNCH TUBES ARE ARRAYED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM: 11-11-11-10-7. A 51ST TUBE IN THE CENTER OF THE FOURTH ROW IS BLOCKED AND USED FOR ELECTRONICS. THE ELEVATING ARMS ARE MOUNTED IN THE CENTER OF THE BOTTOM ROW (LIKE THE 9P138) IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE HEIGHT OF THE SYSTEM. THE 9A51 PRIMA IS CAPABLE OF FIRING OLDER 122-MM ROCKETS AS WELL AS THE NEWER 122-MM ROCKETS. THE NEW ROCKETS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A SEPARATING, PARACHUTE-RETARDED WARHEAD THAT HAS MORE LETHALITY. THE LAUNCHER VEHICLE AND THE 9T232M AMMUNITION RESUPPLY VEHICLE CONSTITUTE THE 9K59 ROCKET COMPLEX. BOTH THE 9A51 PRIMA AND THE 9T232M AMMUNITION RESUPPLY VEHICLE ARE BASED ON THE SAME URAL-4320 5-TON, 6X6 TRUCK USED FOR THE BM-21-1. THE 9A51 PRIMA IS EQUIPPED WITH MANUALLY EMPLACED HYDRAULIC FIRING JACKS TO ENHANCE FIRING STABILITY. THE 9T232M AMMUNITION RESUPPLY VEHICLE CARRIES 50 ROCKETS ARRANGED IN RACKS ON THE VEHICLE S REAR DECK. THE CREW MANUALLY RELOADS THE LAUNCHER. THE 9A51 PRIMA IS CAPABLE (UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS) OF FIRING A 50-ROCKET SALVO THAT COVERS AN AREA OF 190,000M2."
