The B-8M1 is a Soviet-developed rocket pod for 80 mm S-8 unguided rockets. It was widely used in military aviation among Warsaw Pact states and post-Soviet countries. The launcher equipped various types of aircraft—primarily attack helicopters (such as the Mi-24 Hind, Mi-8, Mi-17) as well as fighter-bombers (Su-25, MiG-21, Su-17). Its period of active service ranges from the 1970s (the Cold War) up to today. The B-8M1’s impressive rocket salvos are iconic of many conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan and operations in the Middle East.
