The Armed Forces of Ukraine published a spectacular video of two homemade rocket systems with C-8 aircraft missiles firing at once
The Ukrainian military continues to find uses for captured multiple rocket launchers that previously belonged to the Russian army.
What we know
Another video of a homemade rocket system with a launcher on the chassis of a civilian pickup truck appeared in the network. And this time for the first time we were shown two multiple rocket launchers in one video.
#Ukraine : Light MRLs used by UA mobile units are apparently getting more popular- here are two examples, firing 80mm S-8 rockets meant for aircraft.

They apparently have 12+ launch tubes, and whilst not as effective as even 122mm "Grad" rockets, can still be of short range use. pic.twitter.com/Angt2FDv4L
The improvised MLRS has about a dozen rails and uses 80mm C-8 aircraft missiles designed for attack aircraft, bombers, fighters and attack helicopters. Such multiple rocket launchers cannot boast the effectiveness of the 122mm Grad MLRS. But they are suitable for firing if the enemy is nearby. And let's not forget that placing the launcher on the chassis of a civilian pickup truck increases the mobility of the system.
