Historical Background and Application

The B8V20 rocket launchers are characteristic Soviet-made aerial armament, extensively used since the 1980s, especially during the Cold War period and in post-Cold War operations. They were fitted to attack helicopters such as the Mi-24 “Hind”, as well as front-line aircraft like the Su-25 and other combat platforms. The launcher allows firing 20 unguided 80 mm S-8 rockets, which formed the core armament for targeting armored vehicles, fortifications, and ground targets. This equipment entered the arsenal of the Soviet army and allied countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa.
