Ukrainian troops mounted a rocket launcher to a BMW 7 sedan.<\/li>\n
The E38 trades armor for speed to fire and then quickly escape.<\/li>\n
It follows a 6 Series BMW modded with a machine gun turret.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
If you thought converting a slightly scruffy used car into a mobile rocket launcher was something only seen in Mad Max movies, think again. <\/p>\n

Ukrainian forces near Bakhmut have done exactly that by transforming a BMW E38 7-Series<\/a> (yes, the pretty one) into a makeshift multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) by mounting some deadly hardware where the trunk lid used to live.<\/p>\n

The upshot is a strange-looking but surprisingly effective “car-MLRS” that fires salvos then disappears before anyone can say artillery battery. This wild adaptation comes from military units that have had to make do with creative solutions amid equipment shortages.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rather than rely solely on heavy conventional artillery, Ukraine’s 114th Territorial Defense Brigade repurposed a civilian vehicle into something that can lob rockets into enemy positions and then hustle off to avoid Russian drone surveillance and counter-battery fire. <\/p>\n
It’s a trade-off that replaces military<\/a>-grade armor and pinpoint accuracy with speed, concealment and the element of surprise.<\/p>\n

Images and video circulating on social media show the odd mashup in action again, after it was first spotted in late 2023. Painted in a grey-green disguise, it blends in with the scenery, its tubes mounted horizontally along the roof as it moves between firing locations. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Once the team has picked a spot, they wind out legs from the launcher frame to keep the BMW<\/a> stable, crank a handle to point the tubes skyward, and get the hell out of the way before the rockets let rip.<\/p>\n
Not the First Weird Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n
The idea of strap-on rocket launchers is not entirely new in Ukraine. Earlier improvised platforms involved mounting launch tubes on pickup trucks and light vehicles to give infantry units short-range indirect fire support. <\/p>\n

And it’s not even the first BMW-based weapon we’ve come across in the Ukraine war. Back in 2022 we reported how a 6-series convertible<\/a> had been donated to the cause and repurposed with a heavy machine gun in its trunk.<\/p>\n

<\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\nIn a war zone where every advantage counts, even a quirky solution like a rocket-armed BMW can be part of the fight. It showcases an adaptive attitude that combines technical know-how with a can-do spirit, all while giving the internet one of the coolest war-time vehicle mods imaginable.<\/p>\n What car would you sequester to turn into a military weapon?
