"The Czech Striga MLRS is capable of using all Soviet-era 122mm rockets, including the latest Iranian and Serbian modifications, with a range of up to 40 km.
In addition, the system is capable of using Israeli Accular-122 guided artillery rockets, which can hit targets at a distance of up to 35 km with a circular error probability of up to 10 meters."
Based.
Wonder if they still have enough Soviet ammunition for these kinds of systems.
The RM-70 is still in service in Finland, Greece(and Slovakia). Additionally Poland is also using a domestic GRAD version. Which means ammunition is being produced, the question is if the production can keep with Ukrainian demand.
Yes but that's all based on the same Soviet ammo.. of which I'm guessing most has already been sent to Ukraine.
As we've seen in the past with their modifications to rockets and artillery, I'm sure they'll figure out how to launch without Soviet-era munitions.
Kinda hard when it's physically the wrong size to fit in the barrel.
Sorry, did you have a specific munition in mind? I didn't mention one, so I'm curious where you got the "wrong size" from. Ukrainians have previously adapted missles to fit in certain launch systems and Su-27 fighters, which is why I said what I said. Apparently it can already launch Israeli missles, clearly those are not Soviet and meet the 122mm requirement.
AFAIK the west doesn't make 122mm rocket systems. Maybe they could get some from Turkey? So no, I didn't have any in mind because none I know would fit. The adaptations I've heard of have all been for air to air or air to ground missles, and those don't have to fit into a barrel, they just hang from a wing.
Did you miss that Israel has 122mm munitions, mentioned directly in this post? So yes, Turkey and Israel are probably options here.
I don't consider them part of the west and both (but especially Israel) have been reluctant to help Ukraine, but hopefully it could be an option.
