You guys were right when saying the grads would have been hidden in the cities. But that would have literally turned the city into a battlfield after the first salvo shot. Am I right?

I agree with Lurker.... you may spend long time chasing for those trucks which look nothing special unless on fire position. And it takes just 3 minutes for them to prepare to fire.... 1 minute to fire and 1 minute to leave.
Air support will spend time killing all the trucks around..... and actually when it starts chasing them it would be too late.... the devastating salvo will do HUGE HUGE DAMAGE.
MLRS nees just one thing - know enemy's positions and type of armor/fortification to destroy
