In the Tigray War, Tigrayan forces captured elements of Ethiopia's A200/M20 force and used the capability for deep strikes before Ethiopian government forces recaptured or found abandoned launchers, missiles, rocket canisters, and loaders.

ArtilleryTRG-300 Kasirga300 mm guided multiple rocket launcherThe TRG-300 Kasirga, also marketed as the TRG-300 Tiger/Kaplan family, is a Turkish 300 mm guided rocket-artillery system built by Roketsan for long-range precision fires. In the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict it appears in Azerbaijani service as part of the long-range rocket and missile mix used alongside UAV-enabled targeting and other artillery systems.

ArtilleryBM-21 Grad122 mm multiple rocket launcherThe BM-21 Grad is a Soviet 122 mm multiple rocket launcher built around a 40-tube launcher on a wheeled truck chassis. In the Russia-Ukraine War it remains a common area-fire system on both sides, valued for rapid salvos and mobility but dependent on shoot-and-scoot tactics because the launcher is carried on an unarmored truck.

Artillery273 mm WM-80 multiple rocket launcherWheeled 273 mm multiple rocket launcherThe WM-80 is a Chinese 273 mm wheeled multiple rocket launcher developed for export by NORINCO from the Type 83 family. Armenia acquired a small number before the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, where it served as a long-range but unguided rocket-artillery system with limited public evidence of combat effect and documented losses to Azerbaijani loitering munitions.

ArtilleryASTROS IIWheeled multiple launch rocket systemThe ASTROS II is a Brazilian Avibras wheeled multiple launch rocket system built around modular rocket pods for 127 mm, 180 mm, and 300 mm rockets. In the Yemen Civil War, rights-group investigations documented ASTROS cluster munition rockets used by the Saudi-led coalition, making the system relevant to the conflict's long-range artillery and cluster-munition evidence record.

ArtilleryFatah-II / Fatah-2Guided surface-to-surface rocket / missile systemFatah-II, also written Fatah-2, is a Pakistani long-range guided surface-to-surface rocket or tactical missile system developed for conventional stand-off precision fires. Public reporting describes a mobile two-round launcher, INS/GNSS guidance, a 365 kg conventional warhead, and a domestic range claim of up to about 400 km, with export-oriented specifications often citing 100-290 km. During the 2025 India-Pakistan Conflict it was reported in Indian and independent accounts as part of Pakistan's missile escalation, with the best public evidence pointing to an attempted strike intercepted near Sirsa.
