These units were showcased during a paramilitary parade that was held on 9 September at Kim Il Sung Square to mark the country's 75th founding anniversary.

Leading the segment of MLRS systems at the parade were at least nine tractor-towed 18-round 122 mm MLRS units. The system towed is similar to the ones showcased by North Korea at the parade to mark its 65th anniversary.
