The 2P16 version with Luna missile was one of the first mobile short-range artillery rocket systems introduced by the USSR in the early 1960s. This system played a key role in rapid tactical response and nuclear deterrence during the Cold War. It served mainly in Warsaw Pact countries, and was operated by Soviet Army units, including during strategic exercises and as a support asset for potential operations in Central Europe from 1962 to 1982.

The Trumpeter 09545 kit is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring excellent part fit and recreation of the finest details. The set includes precision-molded hull and launcher parts, a realistic ballistic missile, and richly detailed exterior and interior components of the vehicle. The manufacturer has also provided transparent parts for windows and headlights, as well as photo-etched elements to highlight details such as small handles or covers. Thanks to this, the model is perfect both for a collection and as a centerpiece for a Cold War-era diorama.
