This section is dedicated to pictures of the T-5E 'Luna-M' battlefield missile launcher, known as the FROG-7 in the West.  Here you will be able to find the photographs of the T-5e 'Luna-M' that the Sword of the Motherland Foundation has acquired in our collection.  The pictures we have below are authentic and were taken at the time the vehicle was in active service.  More photographs of the rocket launcher will be added here as they are obtained for our collection.

Elevating the FROG-7 rocket

In this picture you can see a Soviet artilleryman posing near an elevation wheel at the rear of a T-5e 'Luna-M' in winter.  It is interesting for the detailed view of the rear of the rocket and the elevation wheel.  No date or location was listed on this Soviet era photograph.

 

The launching of a FROG-7

In this photograph you can see a dramatic view of a FROG-7 just seconds after launch.  The rocket's spin stabilization thrusters can be seen firing about a quarter of the way down the rocket.  This Soviet photo was taken in 1982, but no location was given.

 
Discussing the rear of the FROG-7

Here you can see a group enlisted men being instructed by an officer at the rear of a Luna-M launcher.  One of the stabilizing jacks can also be seen in the foreground.  This Soviet era picture was taken in 1984 or 1985, but no location was given in the photo description.
