Moto Guzzi Alce The Moto Guzzi Alce was a motorcycle created in 1938 by the Moto Guzzi to equip the Italian Army , the Super Alce , an improved version of the Alce motorcycle , was used until 1955 when it was replaced by the Moto Guzzi Falcone . History . The Alce ( Italian for Moose ) Motorcycle military service was introduced in 1938 to work in the areas of reconnaissance and escort convoys . The Alce was replaced in 1943 by the Super Alce , has been most successful with new features . The introduction of light machine gun Breda 30 fitted in the bar direction was one of those new features . She was adopted by the Bersaglieri scouts in 1940 . Obviously , her machine gun could only be operated when the motorcycle was stopped . She remained in service until 1955 and then was replaced by Moto Guzzi Falcone .

BM - 27 Uragan The BM - 27 Uragan ( , ' hurricane ' ; GRAU index 9P140 ) is a self - propelled multiple rocket launcher system designed in the Soviet Union . It began its service with the Soviet Army in the late 1970s , as its first modern spin and fin stabilized heavy multiple rocket launcher . This system is capable of launching 220 mm rocket s from 16 launch tubes mounted on the rear of a ZIL - 135 8x8 chassis . This vehicle is extremely similar to that used in the FROG - 7 free flight rocket system . It has 2 gasoline engines that power its 20 tonnes to a maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour . One engine drives the 4 wheels on the left of the truck while the other engine drives the 4 wheels on the right . The ZIL - 135 has 8 wheel drive , but only the front and rear axles are used for steering . It has a maximum cruising range of 500 kilometers . The cab of the ZIL - 135 is NBC protected , allowing the rockets to be fired without exposing the crew to possible contaminants . The crew of 4 can emplace or displace the system in 3 minutes . Before firing , stabilizing jacks must be lowered and the blast shield raised to protect the cab and its occupants . Indirect fire aiming is achieved with the use of a PG - 1 panoramic telescope . Although there are no night vision sights , the driver of the launch vehicle is equipped with a night vision device . The BM - 27 can use HE - FRAG , chemical , ICM or scatterable mine PTM - 3 or PFM - 1 ) submunition equipped rockets all of which are detonated by electric timing fuses . Each rocket weighs 280 . 4 kilograms . The warheads weigh between 90 and 100 kilograms depending on type . A full salvo of 16 rockets can be fired in 20 seconds and can engage targets within a range of 35 kilometers . Because of the size of the warhead , the range of the rocket and the speed that a salvo can be delivered , the BM - 27 is very effective at mine laying . Each 220 mm rocket can scatter 312 anti - personnel PFM - 1 mines . Minefield s can be laid behind a retreating enemy or even be used to trap an enemy by encircling them with mines . Tactics such as this were often used by the Soviets in Afghanistan . Once the rockets have been fired , 9T452 ( another ZIL - 135 based vehicle ) is used to assist in reloading . It carries additional rockets and a crane to transfer the rockets from the reload vehicle to the launcher . The entire reloading procedure takes around 20 minutes .
