'Vampires' in Ukraine: Fearless gunners unleash Czech-made rocket launcher at Donetsk frontline

Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines in Donetsk have increased the intensity of their attacks and are trying to break through Russia's defensive lines in the east. Soldiers from 110th Separate Mechanised Brigade are operating a Czech-made ‘Vampire’ rocket launch system near Pokrovsk, one of the key towns in eastern Donetsk. Video footage shows soldiers loading the rocket launcher and targeting Russian positions. Russian soldiers were trying to force Ukrainians to spread their lines thin by attacking at various points of the frontline simultaneously. Putin’s men were taking advantage of their superiority in manpower but attempts to break Ukrainian lines came at a great cost. The commander of the brigade's artillery unit, call sign "Tur" estimated that his brigade alone killed or injured 50 to 150 Russian soldiers each day. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski, who visited the area last week, has issued instructions to prioritise the Pokrovsk frontline. #ukraine #russia #war

Shoot 'n scoot reign supreme in the mobile war of artillery. Reload and find a new firing point. "This ain't no party; this ain't no disco; this ain't no foolin' around. Gunfire off in the distance, I'm getting used to it now." Life During Wartime. Cheers from eastern TN

Quite an old rocket launcher; I can see paint peeling, electrical wire loosened. Anyway, it is better than nothing.

Молодцы чехословаки, пригодилось оружие которое они сделали.

😍😍😍Cambodia bought a ton of these MLRS BM21 from Czech Republic. It's an old Rocket Launcher System, and they are 122 mm unguided rockets. But it only a few of them will hit the targets. That's why there are 40 rockets in a pod or launchers. They shoot a lot, but only some of them will hit the targets. They are still deadly.

If America dont want direct confrontation wt Russia, he should live Ukraine for Russia better

[macobrum]

its actually Slovak Rocket Launcher... or before dissolution, called as Czechoslovak "MLRS". Because they was made in Dubnica nad Vahom which is in Slovakia NOT in Czechia! I know that launchers was delivered from Czech Republic but it was made in Slovakia ;)

Pls., correct as "Slovak-made rocket launcher" ... and one more correction, Vampire are Czech made, but not RM-70 or RM-70/85.

It's rare to see the enemy in this type of war, unless they are no longer alive.

Ukraine is trying to make a breakthrough???😅😅😅!!!You are totally crazy, their line is bursting in all directions, they can barely get their positions, you are talking about a breakthrough!

Russia has a winning military strategy, Ukraine and NATO have a PR strategy. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on
