Umm, that rocket launcher pod was not used by the Soviet Army at all. They had more than a few proper rocket artillery designs in their service, so they didn't need that hackjob.

Because that's nothing than a launcher pod for the S-5 unguided rocket (looks like the UB-32 model), originally used by various Soviet aircrafts, grafted onto a civilian truck. It's practically a technical, IIRC built during the Balkan Wars in the 1990s. The S-5 is a long time favorite by insurgents, rebels and other less then well equipped forces, and you can dig up lots of similar creations, where the UB-32 and other pods have been grafted to a whole lot of different vehicles, to make some makeshift MLRS.
