Azerbaijani forces fielded the Turkish TRG-300 Kasirga/Tiger family during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war; CSIS identifies it among Azerbaijan's long-range rocket-artillery systems, and a Hetq investigation reported Azerbaijani use of TRG-300 rockets in the October 2020 strike on Shushi's Ghazanchetsots Cathedral.

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.

ArtilleryLORA ballistic missileShort-range road-mobile ballistic missile systemLORA is an Israeli precision short-range ballistic missile from Israel Aerospace Industries, carried in sealed canisters on mobile or maritime launchers. In the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Azerbaijani forces used it sparingly for a high-value bridge strike meant to disrupt Armenian reinforcement routes.

ArtilleryTRLG-230230 mm laser-guided artillery rocketThe TRLG-230 is Roketsan's 230 mm laser-guided artillery rocket for the company's multi-caliber launcher family, combining coordinate guidance with terminal laser designation for precision strikes out to about 70 km. In the Russia-Ukraine War, open-source reporting has identified the system as a Turkish-supplied Ukrainian precision-fires capability, distinct from standard GPS-guided rockets because its laser seeker can be used against designated point targets.

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.

ArtilleryM142 HIMARSWheeled multiple rocket launcher and tactical missile launcherThe M142 HIMARS is a U.S.-built wheeled launcher that gives field artillery units a rapidly deployable precision-strike system for GMLRS rockets, ATACMS, and newer PrSM missiles. Its single-pod launcher trades the heavier M270 MLRS loadout for C-130 transportability and road mobility, making it useful for dispersed long-range fires in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria, and U.S. operations against Iran.

ArtilleryTornado-S300 mm multiple launch rocket systemTornado-S, also known as the 9K515 MLRS, is Russia's modernized 300 mm successor to the BM-30 Smerch, adding automated fire-control and GLONASS-aided guided rockets for longer-range precision fires. In the Russia-Ukraine War it has been documented through recovered 9M54-series guided munition remnants and reported launcher losses, making it one of Russia's higher-end rocket artillery systems in the conflict.
