The American newspaper Military Watch Magazine reported in an article that “Belarus can sell Russia the Polonez multiple launch rocket system, which has no analogues in Europe in terms of range, noting that “the 301-mm Bolognese rocket launcher in service fires at a range of 300 km. Adopted by the Belarusian army in 2016.

But the Belarusian army has so far deployed only 6 such systems. Another 10 systems have been sold to Azerbaijan. The reason for the limited production volume lies in the modest Belarusian budget, which does not exceed $800 million.

Nevertheless, the Bolognese is considered one of the most long-range grenade launchers that have no analogues in Europe. The secret of its long range lies in the Chinese-made A-200 missiles, which fire at distances up to 300 km. Since Belarus has rich experience in the production of large-capacity wheeled diesel locomotives, rocket launchers were placed on the platform of a four-axle (eight-wheeled) vehicle MZKT-7930.
