History:
The PULS (Precise & Universal Launching System) was manufactured by Israel Military Industries (IMI) with the name of Lynx, after Elbit Systems adquisition of IMI in 2018, the system was modernized and renamed to PULS.
PULS entered service first in the IDF in 2020, with the nickname “Lahav”, mounted on US made HEMTT Oshkosh 8x8 trucks that Israel had in its inventory. The first combat use of the PULS occurred in 2024 during the Gaza War, in 2025 was also used in Gaza to strike Hamas compounds and warehouses. But its more important use was during the Israel/USA - Iran war in 2026, while the israeli air force was busy doing operations to strike Iranian assets in Teheran, the PULS was tasked to do the strikes in Lebanon, against Hezbollah forces, that joined the conflict in defense for Iran. The Battalion 334, same one that did the strikes in Gaza, in the early days of the war launched 50 EXTRA rockets from the PULS system, managing to succesfully strike many Hezbollah targets (anti-tank squads, buildings and enemy infrastructure).
The PULS current operators are Israel, Denmark, The Netherlands, and India. With future customers confirmed to be Greece, Peru, Germany & Bulgaria (under the EuroPULS program), and Serbia.
Specifications:
Platform
The PULS system can be mounted in a variety of platforms, due to the preferences of the country that uses it (for example Germany uses the well known Man 8x8 truck). In the case of the IDF, the platform used was the Oshkosh HEMTT 8x8 (M985 variant). The truck also features a crane for faster reload (which in-game would be useless because you have the ammo box).

Armaments
The PULS has 2 containers, which gives the possibility to have a mixed loadout, meaning you can equip lower caliber rockets along with bigger caliber rockets, or just have the two containers with the same loadout.
Place in-game:
I think the PULS would work as a tank destroyer, as every other MLRS system in-game. In real life this vehicle does not have any gunner optics because of its indirect fire role, but for gameplay purpouses it can be added with a fictional gunner sight with optics zoom of 1.9x–3.5x (just as the BM-13N, BM-31-12 and Type 75 MLRS). Thanks to having a 0 degree minimum angle, it will be easier to do direct fire against enemy tanks.
