The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) is an armored multiple rocket launcher that has been used by the US Army for decades. Jointly developed by the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, West Germany and France, it first saw use during the Gulf War. During the conflict, it showed its strength and utility, and has since been employed by a number of other countries outside of the US.
As of summer 2022, several M270 MLRS have been sent to the Ukrainian military, in support of its fight against the invading Russian forces.
