The BM-27 truck can run at a maximum road speed of 65 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 570 km. at 3,200 rpm each of which drives the four wheels on one side of the vehicle. The truck is motorized by two diesel engines developing 177 hp. The 220mm rocket launcher system is mounted on an 8x8 truck chassis ZIL-135LM. The crew compartment accommodates the launch preparation and firing equipment and the operator can select single rockets or salvo firing. The fully enclosed unarmoured crew compartment is at the front with the two diesel engines to the rear. The BM-27 can fire five types of unguided artillery rockets, 9M27F (He High Explosive), 9M27K1 (anti-personnel anti-material bomblets), 9M27K2 (anti-tank mines), 9M27K3 (anti-personnel minelets), and 9M59 (anti-tank mines with directional charge). The BM-27 can be reloaded with a second set of 16 rockets in up to 20 minutes. The maximum rate of fire for the BM-27 is approximately one round per second. The fin-and spin-stabilized rockets are estimated to have a range of 35 to 40 km, greatly exceeding the ranges of earlier Soviet heavy rocket launchers. The BM-27 fires rockets that are equipped with high-explosive fragmentation, chemical, and scatterable-mine sub-munition warheads. Burevia: Prototype Burevia or Storm by the Ukrainian Shepetivka Repair Plant involving a new digital fire control system capable of target sharing and mounted on a Tatra 8x8 T815-7T3RC1 chassis Installed on a 6×6 truck type KrAZ-63221RA. Bastion-03: Prototype by Ukrainian company AvtoKrAZ, presented in 2010. Thanks to its modular assembly the BM-30 Smerch and BM-21 Grad rockets can also be fired. 9A53 Uragan-U: Successor with 2 × 15 launch tubes presented in 2009 on 8×8 MZKT-7930. Can fire guided 220 mm rockets with a range of 70 km.

Deliveries to the Russian Army started in September 2016. Reloading is simplified by substituting barrel can be fitted with two banks of six 300 mm launch tubes or 15 220 mm launch tubes. Can also fire the 300 mm rockets of the BM-30 Smerch system. Uragan-1M: This variant was presented to the public in 2007 all processes are automated. In the Russian army, the BM-27 has replaced the BM-21 122 rocket launcher at the brigade level of artillery division and to rocket launcher regiment at the army level. The BM-27 can be ready to fire in less than 3 min and leave its firing position after launching the rockets in 90 seconds. The BM-27 can be easily transported by railway or military transport aircraft. The system can be used in conditions of enemy's application of the nuclear, chemical, or bacteriological weapon at any time, during night and day in various climatic conditions at air temperatures from -40° to +50°. The BM-27 is designed to engage any type of group targets, soft-skinned and armored vehicles, and military and industrial defense facilities. The system was designed in the early 1970s, with development being completed in 1975. The 9P140 Uragan also named BM-27 is a 220mm MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) designed and manufactured by the Russian defense industry.
