The Polonez Multiple Launch Rocket System [1] is a Belarusian 300 mm rocket artillery system of a launcher unit comprising 8 rockets packaged in two four-rocket pods mounted on a MZKT-7930 vehicle.[2] In 2018, it was exported to Azerbaijan.[3] MLRS was designed by the Belarusian Plant of Precision Electromechanics in cooperation with a foreign country, probably China. The first combat missile launches were carried out in China.[4] The Belarussian army is equipped with it. The upgraded Polonez-M has passed all trials and has been accepted into service by the Belarusian army as of May 2019. Its supplies have already begun. Upgraded Polonez has an increased range of 300 km and a higher share of domestic Belarusian components. It can fire a 480 kg warhead tactical missile.[5][6]
