M26A1

The M26 rockets are spin-stabilized unguided projectiles. They are powered by a solid fuel rocket motor. Once fired, the M26 rocket follows a ballistic trajectory. The M26 rockets are stored in individual tubes which provide storage and act as the launch ramp. The 2 launch containers employed by the M270 MLRS rocket artillery system consist of 12 (2x6) M26 rockets inside their associated tubes. The M26 rocket is the main ammunition of the M270 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). Both were combat proven successfully in 1991, during the operation Desert Storm. The M28 is a training rocket designed to simulate the M26 rocket firing. The M26 rocket has been fielded in 14 countries around the world. The M26A1/A2 are extended range derivatives of the M26 rocket. The A1/A2 models are equipped with 518 M77 DPICM submunitions and a longer rocket motor. The modified A1/A2 rockets can hit targets at maximum ranges of 45 kilometers. The A1 and A2 models are provided with different reliability M77 submunitions. M26A2 carries M101 grenades.
