The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), built by Lockheed Martin, was introduced in 1983 and costs about $4 million. First delivered to the U.S. Army, it quickly became popular among NATO forces for its effectiveness and compatibility. The M270 features a maximum firing range of 186 miles, giving it significant reach in combat.
Designed for rapid response, the M270 can launch 12 rockets in 40 seconds or two missiles in ten seconds, delivering swift, powerful support to ground troops.
