<div>== Description ==<br />
<!-- ''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.'' --><br />
The '''300 mm M-31-UK''' is a ground-launched Soviet rocket. It differs from its more common, smaller counterpart, the [[M13|M-13]], by being a larger rocket with a bulbous type warhead and 8 spin-stabilization fins<br />

== General info ==<br />
<!-- ''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the rocket.'' --><br />
The 300 mm M-31-UK is a large rocket with 8 spin-stabilizer fins and a bulbous warhead.<br />
<br />
=== Effective damage ===<br />
<!-- ''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of rocket (high explosive, splash damage, etc)'' --><br />
The M-31-UK is an HE rocket with a bulbous warhead, which allows it to deal incredible high explosive damage. This rocket can destroy almost all ground vehicles in-game with a single direct hit.<br />
<br />
=== Comparison with analogues ===<br />
<!-- ''Give a comparative description of rockets that have firepower equal to this weapon.'' --><br />
This rocket will be compared most often with its smaller brother, the [[M13|M-13]]. Compared to the M-13, the M-31 is over twice as large in calibre, and far more dangerous against enemy vehicles through overpressure.<br />
<br />
== Usage in battles ==<br />
''Describe situations when you would utilise this rocket in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''<br />
<br />
=== Pros and cons ===<br />
<!-- ''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.'' --><br />
<br />
'''Pros:'''<br />
<br />
*Indirect fire weapon, rockets can be used to attack targets behind obstacles<br />
*The launcher layout allows almost simultaneous launch of rockets<br />
*Surprisingly accurate for a ground-launched rocket<br />
*Large warhead; can dispatch all but the heaviest of tanks, unlike its smaller brother, the [[M13|M-13]]<br />
<br />
'''Cons:'''<br />
<br />
*Vehicles carrying this weapon usually lack a large ammo pool; must be fired conservatively<br />
*Ranging shots is difficult<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''<br />
