The Ukrainian Defense Forces have not one "Bureviy" multiple rocket launcher system on the chassis of Tatra T815-7, but at least two.

What we know

Two photos have appeared in the network, which depict two "Bureviy" multiple rocket launcher systems, based on the Czech vehicle Tatra. Earlier it was assumed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had only one such launcher.

The Bureviy MLRS was developed in Ukraine as a replacement for the Soviet Uragan rocket system. It was not put into service until 2022. Meanwhile, at the end of 2021, Ukraine received 16 chassis Tatra T815-7 with 8x8 wheel base to produce a new 220-mm multiple rocket launcher system.

"Bureviy" can use shells for "Uragan" multiple rocket launcher with a launch range of 35 km. Missiles with a range of 65 km were also under development as part of the Typhoon-2 program, but there is no confirmation that such projectiles were eventually created.

There is a possibility that the Armed Forces already have three Bureviy multiple rocket launchers. In the photo below, you can see the Multiple Rocket Launcher System, which was undergoing firing tests in 2020. But so far there is no confirmation that it is used by the Ukrainian army.
