The enemy vehicle was hit in the direction of Bakhmut, we are talking about the Ersatz MLRS created by Russia based on the Ural-4320, armed with the Soviet naval rocket launcher RBU-6000 or Smerch-2.
The RBU-6000 were the most widespread anti-submarine rocket launchers in the Soviet Navy, used on many classes of ships.
The system entered service in 1960-1961 and is installed on a wide range of Russian surface ships. It consists of a horseshoe arrangement of twelve launching barrels, which are remotely directed by the Burya fire control system.
It fires RGB-60 rockets, carrying unguided depth charges. The rockets are normally fired in salvos of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12 shots. Reloading is automatic, with individual cartridges being fed into the launcher by the 60UP loading system from a magazine below deck. The typical magazine capacity is 72 or 96 cartridges per launcher. It can also be used for coastal bombardment.
For obvious reasons, a complete transfer of the bomb launching system from a ship to a land chassis is impossible. Even so, the creators of the unusual technique managed to deal with the objective limitations and achieve an interesting result.
The mobile version of the RBU-6000 differs from the original ship version, primarily in its reduced configuration. Only the launching and control devices are installed on the land chassis. At the same time, they are connected to the standard electrical system of the carrier to ensure operation. There is no ammunition magazine or loading mechanism. Reloading must be done manually or through third-party mechanization.
