Roketsan, the developer, released footage of the TRLG-122 striking a stationary maritime target. The video shows the launch being carried out from a special transport-launch container mounted on a light truck.
The footage also features a multi-caliber launcher based on a russian KamAZ chassis—essentially a HIMARS analog. It can be fitted with two pods of TRLG-122 rockets, each holding 12 rounds, for a total salvo of 24. Ukraine already operates such a launcher, which first appeared on the front in 2023 with the 49th Separate Artillery Brigade.

The TRLG-122 is equipped with a semi-active laser seeker, allowing precision strikes with a circular error of just two meters and even the ability to engage moving targets. For mid-course navigation, it relies on an inertial guidance system.
The rocket has a caliber of 122 mm, a range of 13 to 30 km, a total weight of 76 kg, and a 13.5 kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead with additional metal balls. This design resembles the GMLRS variant that uses tungsten balls for increased lethality.
In terms of range, caliber, and the number of rockets per launcher, the TRLG-122 is reminiscent of the BM-21 Grad MLRS. However, due to its accuracy and warhead type, it is more accurately described as a blend of the GMLRS (though guided by laser designation and inertial navigation rather than satellite navigation) and the Grad.
The TRLG-122 was first unveiled at the IDEF international defense exhibition in 2021. Thanks to its laser guidance, even drones can designate targets for it, making this system especially lethal.
