The UB-16-57 rocket launcher was developed in the 1960s in the USSR and was designed to fire S-5 57mm unguided rockets. Widely used on various types of combat aircraft and helicopters such as the MiG-21, MiG-23, Su-17, Su-25, Mi-8, and Mi-24, it fueled the firepower of Soviet aviation during Cold War conflicts (e.g., the war in Afghanistan) as well as numerous local skirmishes for decades. Today, the UB-16-57 can still be found during the modernization of older machines or on equipment operated in less developed countries.

The RESKIT RS72-0227 set offers extremely accurate reproduction of the launcher’s surface details, geometry, and construction, thanks to advanced 3D casting technologies. You receive a set of four parts for realistic armament arrangement on your model. The product requires no corrections, and assembly to your model is intuitive.

We recommend this set to both intermediate and advanced modelers—it is the perfect choice for those who want to build a model with enhanced authenticity and unique details. Assembly difficulty: 2/5. The upgrade is ideal for dioramas or collections of combat machines in the colors of Warsaw Pact countries and nations using post-Soviet air force equipment.
