A photo of a BTR-80 rocket armored personnel carrier with UB-32-57 aircraft NAR blocks has appeared online. The military managed to combine two seemingly completely different weapons.

NAR blocks contain 64 S-5 rockets with a caliber of 57 mm. As a rule, they are installed on various types of combat aircraft.

UB-32-57 is a block of unguided aircraft rockets (NAR) that is used to engage ground and air targets. It is a container into which 32 S-5 type rockets with a caliber of 57 mm are loaded.

The warhead of the rockets depends on the specific modification of the S-5, there may be high-explosive fragmentation, cumulative or incendiary versions.

The effective launch range is from 800 to 1800 meters for S-5 type rockets.

Earlier www1.ru reported that heavy Soviet An-124 "Ruslan" transporters are being modernized for the military.
