This has been bugging me.

SPArt = Self Propelled Artillery

So what's a self propelled ROCKET artillery? SPRkt is the best I can think of, but it's unwieldy. And no, I'm not

looking for MLRS.

I don't know of any specific term for it, but MRL works just as well for mobile rocket artillery. This is simply du

to the fact that towed weapons are very unusual, with only oneexample with any noticeable degree of

proliferation (Chinese Type 63 107mm). No other design I know of is in use with more than one nation in any

significant numbers.

I may be mistaken but I think the Russians have an acronym for it. Not that it's all that useful in an English-
