Sorry, did you have a specific munition in mind? I didn't mention one, so I'm curious where you got the "wrong size" from. Ukrainians have previously adapted missles to fit in certain launch systems and Su-27 fighters, which is why I said what I said. Apparently it can already launch Israeli missles, clearly those are not Soviet and meet the 122mm requirement.

AFAIK the west doesn't make 122mm rocket systems. Maybe they could get some from Turkey? So no, I didn't have any in mind because none I know would fit. The adaptations I've heard of have all been for air to air or air to ground missles, and those don't have to fit into a barrel, they just hang from a wing.

Did you miss that Israel has 122mm munitions, mentioned directly in this post? So yes, Turkey and Israel are probably options here.

I don't consider them part of the west and both (but especially Israel) have been reluctant to help Ukraine, but hopefully it could be an option.
