We will remind that the Croatian RAK-SA-12 towed MLRS "lit up" in Ukraine more than a month ago - they were first spotted in a photo report of the State Security Service on the occasion of the Day of the Border Guard.
The Croatian MLRS can fire all 12 rockets at the occupants in 9.6 seconds or fire single shots at a rate of 1 shot/minute. The firing range is from 800 to more than 8500 meters, there is an option of launching from a remote control from a distance of 25 meters from the launcher.
Reloading the launcher with rockets prepared in advance would take 1m 20s, unfolding the system on arrival takes 1m 30s with a pre-loaded launcher or 3m 30s if the launcher is empty. Displacement time is up to 1m. A crew consists of five plus a commander.
