Analyst Note
This 9M27K-series surface-to-surface cargo rocket is carrying a payload of 9N210 or 9N235 high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) submunitions. These submunitions are difficult to distinguish unless their external markings are visible, or a close examination is made. (ARES)

“Note that several observers and commentators have erroneously claimed that the 9N210 is exclusively used with the 9M27K (Uragan) rocket, whereas the 9N235 can only be deployed from the 9M55K (Smerch) rocket. ARES has previously documented both submunitions deployed from both types of cargo rockets in Ukraine, Syria, and elsewhere.”
