The RS-80 Oskol missile is a fully Ukrainian-made ammo.
A pilot batch of the unguided 80mm aircraft missile Oskol has been tested in Ukraine.
"The RS-80 Oskol missile is our own product, completely developed and manufactured in Ukraine, including all its components," Ukrainian Military TV's Oleksandr Shtupun wrote on Facebook August 20.
The brigade of Chernihiv-based State Research Institute for Testing and Certification of Arms and Military Equipment conducted live fire tests, employing a Mi-8 type helicopter.
As reported, nearly 300 RS-80 Oskol missiles have been tested.
The three-day testing confirmed major tactical and technical characteristics of the aircraft missiles and possibility of their use on Mi-8 helicopters.
As UNIAN reported earlier, upgraded T-64BV tanks were showcased at the rehearsal of Ukraine's Independence Day military parade in Kyiv.
