MAR-240 multiple rocket launcher
After the Six Day War, the Israeli Army managed to capture between 30-40 Soviet 240mm BM-24 multiple rocket launchers abandoned by the Egiptian Army after their defeat. Israel, following its successful policy of exploitation, used them for a few years and even made indigenous 240mm ammunition. Later, it was decided to develop a new system on the M-4A3 Sherman medium tank chassis. Three BM-24 rocket launchers were joined totaling 36 cells, that were installed over the tank chassis creating a new armored vehicle more suitable for combat conditions. The new vehicle was designated as MAR-240, acronym for “Medium Artillery Rocket caliber 240”, and had an hydraulic system that raised and turned the rocket launcher. It is believed that the MAR-240 entered service in small quantities.
