The UB-16/57U missile blocks were armed in the Czech Republic MiG-21 (F-ka 2 blocks, MF and MA-čka up to 4 pieces - depending on the number of hangers), we fired at them at every shooting (shooting range Manětín, Jínce-Bělečko etc.....). Basically, they were in the arsenal of every fighter aircraft in our country, drills such as Mi-17, Mi-24 already pulled UB-32 (higher load capacity) ......
Such a view of the Mi-24 squadron during a one-time launch from beyond the horizon and the subsequent hell created at the site of the missile impact - do not see it, I do not believe - comparable to the napalm attack in action movies .....
