中國SR-5型雙口徑遠程火箭炮是中國北方工業公司研發的一款輪式火箭炮系統。該火箭炮有效整合了122毫米口徑與300毫米口徑兩種火箭彈。也是世界上第一種在單一系統中，有效整合大、中口徑火箭發射筒的火箭炮，目前已出口多國。

Chinese North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) has delivered the first batch of SR5 multiple launch rocket systems to the Royal Bahraini Army.

Bahrain recently showcased its new acquired rocket systems during the military exercises, confirming for the first time that the country has gotten some significant weaponry from Beijing.
SR5 utilizes 6X6 wheeled truck chassis for forward-mounted cab and rear-set launcher unit. The launcher unit is set up on a traversable platform which supplies inherent elevation reach for engagement of target areas from any angle orientation of the truck.

The SR5 rocket system can fire 220-mm and 122-mm rockets of different ranges. The rockets are fitted with various warheads, including HE-FRAG, incendiary, smoke and illumination. Also there are cargo warheads with anti-tank or pre-fragmented anti-personnel submunitions. Some rockets have a GPS guidance for precision strikes.

Rocket pods are factory-fitted and sealed. These double as transport containers and launchers. A standard 220-mm pod contains 6 rockets. These rockets have a range of up to 70 km. It can be fired also by Russian-made BM-21 and Chinese MLRS Type 81, 90B, and SR5. The BRE1 122mm rocket shell is similar to the standard 122mm rocket shell but has a maximum range of 50 km.
