While helicopters use the B-8V20A with longer barrels in the outer and inner rings.
The poorer aerodynamics of the missile launcher, quite irrelevant given the relatively low speed of the helicopter, is a toll for the increased accuracy of fire


When firing from a helicopter, a significant portion of the forward velocity of the carrier is missing (compared to aircraft), which results in a larger circular deviation of unguided missiles on target
