rm-70 vampir

The RM-70 Vampir is a modern multiple rocket launcher system developed by Excalibur Army of the Czech Republic, based on the original Czechoslovakian RM-70. It features an upgraded Tatra T-815-7 chassis, improved fire control system, and retains the ability to carry a full reload pack of 40 rockets.

Developed by Excalibur Army in the mid-2010s, the RM-70 Vampir was designed to modernize legacy rocket artillery by integrating digital fire control, advanced communications, and enhanced crew protection. The system was officially introduced in 2015, offering a highly mobile and cost-effective upgrade to traditional 122mm rocket platforms. It saw its most significant combat deployment during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, where Czech-supplied units were actively utilized by Ukrainian forces for rapid fire support. Today, the Vampir remains in active production and service, representing a successful bridge between legacy Warsaw Pact calibers and modern NATO-standard digital battlefield integration.
