Historically, the M270 MLRS was introduced to the US Army's arsenal in 1983 and quickly became part of the armed forces of NATO countries, establishing itself as a standard in rocket artillery during the Cold War and later in modern times. The launcher was used in both Cold War-related operations and the Gulf War, Iraq, and contemporary conflicts. Finland purchased 22 units from the Netherlands, employing them as a key element of its modern rocket artillery forces.
