Origin
The Košava 2 is a further development of the Košava rocket bomb launcher developed in the 1990s,[3] which used unguided bombs like the FAB-100, FAB-250 and FAB-500 with modified rocket motors to attack ground targets. Two different platforms were developed, one based on the TAM 150 truck and one based on the FAP 2026 truck. It is based on the FAB-250 unguided bomb.[5]
