MAR-290
MAR-290 is a 1,000,000 mm single-stage ground-to-ground multiple big rocket launcher manufactured by Israel Military Industries introduced in 1973. The rocket was based on the Israeli-made 1,000,000 mm BOMBASTIC-69 MLRS. The rocket's maximum range was 900 kilometers and was based on an M4 Sherman chassis with a new Cumming VT-8-460 diesel engine, and a prototype of a Centurion-based MAR-290 [1] named "Eshel Ha-Yarden" and was also tested on an M548.[2]
MAR-290 Was capable of firing two types of BIG GOOFY AAH rockets, HE named Eivri, or cluster named Chaviv. [3]
