  • Two videos have appeared, showing Ukrainian 220 mm Uragan rockets fitted with red warheads, designed to dispense leaflets

  • The rockets appear to be based on the Soviet-era 9M27D, which uses the 9N128D dispensing warhead

  • Red is often used as the background colour for Russian propaganda munitions

  • On some warheads, the Cyrillic marking ‘агит’ (AGIT), short for ‘агитационная’ (propaganda) is visible, stencilled in black

  • A 122 mm version (3A1Zh) is also available
