On May 26, 2021, Ukrainian 120-mm missiles Taifun-1 for the GRAD multiple rocket launcher proved themselves in four successful test launches conducted under the supervision of Yuzhnoye State Design Office at the missile test facility of the Shyrokyi Lan Joint Training Center for Military Units near Mykolaiv.

Prototypes of this ammunition were developed by Yuzhnoye during the related development work under the contract with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

An operational military vehicle BM-21 was used for launching the missiles. The onboard instrumentation of missiles transmitted the flight telemetry data to the ground measurement station developed by Yuzhnoye.

Pavlograd Machine Building Plant, Yuzhmash Machine Building Plant, Pavlograd Chemical Plant, Photoprylad Research and Production Complex, State Scientific Research Institute of Chemical Products, and other state enterprises of Ukraine participated in the development of the Taifun-1 missile.
