Citizens of the country have raised more than $ 1. 3 million for a 122 mm reactive volley fire for the needs of Ukrainian defenders. The RM-70 and 365 shells will be transferred within several weeks. This was reported on March 23 by Ceske Noviny. The author of the Putin Gift Initiative, Martin Odrachek, said that in total the goal is to raise more than $ 2. 3 million.

The technique has already undergone major repairs. The Stracek Streichek Director for Strechek's Development added that it was a completely comprehensive repair. The relevant work was carried out with the engine control system and missile installations.

Shooting is possible with separate shells or full volley.
