Ukrainian Armed Forces actively use modern weaponry provided by its allies. The RM-70 Vampir handed over by the Czech Republic, has already been spotted before, and now the Ukrainian military share some footage of these systems working on the frontlines.
The RM-70 is a multiple rocket launch system developed by the Czechoslovak army in 1970 to replace obsolete BM-21 "Grad" launchers that are still used by Ukrainian and russian armed forces. Defense Express provided a brief comparison of these systems:

There are no details on the exact modification of the systems obtained from the Czech, but in one of our previous articles, we shared the news that the latest RM-70 Vampir 4D upgrade has already hit the market.
Even the base model has a significant advantage over its predecessor due to the automatic reloading system, but if the Ukrainian army got this very last modification, that could mean the Ukrainian artillerymen got a poweful tool equipped with advanced fire control and navigation systems.
According to the Army Recognition, the fire control system includes an on-board computer for ballistic calculations, an inertial navigation system with GPS guidance and the ability to control the weapon system directly from the vehicle cabin or remotely.
The possibility of receiving exactly this variant is quite high, since on paper, the Czech Army doesn’t have any RM-70 launchers, so the vehicles departed to Ukraine straight from the plant.
