Description

The RM-70 Modular is an extensive upgrade of the RM-70 developed by Slovakia. The Modular package includes a new and larger crew cabin. The crew cabin includes equipment to aim the launcher, eliminating the need to leave armor protection. The new launcher may be fitted with a single pack of 28 normal or long range 122mm rockets or a pack with 6 NATO standard 227mm MLRS rockets. Instead of a second ammunition a crane is fitted to reload the launcher. The launcher's top cover folds open to each side to allow for reloading. The RM-70 Modular was acquired by Slovakia and is available for export.
