The 128 mm M91 and M93 FRAG-HE rockets is as the base model of the Croatian 128 mm spin-stabilised rockets, the M91 closely resembles the earlier Yugoslav M-63 (qv) in appearance and general specifications. It weighs 23.5 kg and is powered by a rocket motor weighing 4.5 kg. The steel-cased FRAG-HE warhead weighs 8.5 kg and is understood to contain TNT. Maximum range is 8,500 m. The M93 rocket motor weighs 7.8 kg and increases the maximum range to 13,000 m. The weight of the FRAG-HE warhead is also increased, to 9
kg. It is probable that the M93 was also based on earlier Yugoslav design work concerning the 128 mm M-87 rocket which, as far as can be determined, was not produced in other than small numbers. Both rockets can be provided with locally produced, nose-mounted point detonating super-quick fuzes, the RU RT M91 (understood to be a Croatian copy of the former Yugoslav PD UT M-63(OV)) or the RU TI M94. Both provide a muzzle safety of 30 to 40 m. The 128 mm M91 and M93 FRAG-HE rockets were developed within Croatia using the Yugoslav 128 mm M-63 rockets (see separate entry) as a basis. The M91 approximates to the earlier M-63 rocket but the M93 is a longer range variant with a larger and more powerful rocket motor and a slightly heavier FRAG-HE warhead. Two launchers have been developed within Croatia to fire these rockets. The 128 mm RAK-12 MRS is a towed system with 12 launch barrels. Two sets of RAK-12 barrels are mounted over the self-propelled LOV-RAK 24/128 mm 4 × 4, based on the hull and chassis of the Croatian LOV-OP APC. Marketing of these 128 mm rockets and their launchers is carried out in Croatia by R H ALAN doo of Zagreb. The same rockets are also produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina by SOKO-VIT doo, Mostar. Applications include 128 mm RAK-12 MRS; LOV-RAK, 24/128 mm 4 × 4.
