The enemy is using home-made systems on the battlefield that launch 324-mm missiles “somewhere in the other direction”
The photos of the “Snowflake” on the battlefield were posted a year ago, and the homemade “Snowflake” was first presented in 2018.
The Russian occupation forces are using Snezhinka missile systems on the battlefield – new footage of this “home-made” system, developed by the so-called “DNR military industry,” has recently been posted online.
The video shows a Russian “Snezhinka” launching a missile, followed by alleged footage of an unidentified target being hit – however, it is unclear whether this is actually the work of the “Snezhinka” or just a simple montage of footage for the “hit effect.”

This is not the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion that this “Snezhinka” has been spotted on the battlefield – a year ago, in early August 2022, a photo of this system was posted online, probably somewhere in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The “Snezhinka” missile system is a home-made system from the “engineers” of the so-called “DPR”, or rather from the “State Innovation Company”, and was first officially presented on May 9, 2018, along with another “home-made” MLRS “Cheburashka”, for which “tactical missile troops” were even created.
At the same time, according to unofficial data from open sources, the Snezhinka was allegedly tested in 2016, and in combat conditions, but then it was a version with a launcher for one missile, as opposed to two in the “modern” version.
As previously stated by the “developers” of the Snezhinka system, its main task on the battlefield is to destroy the first and second fortified lines of the enemy on the battlefield. To hit targets, this system is equipped with two 324-mm missiles that can hit at a distance of up to 9.6 km (minimum range is 1.5 km).
The missiles used in this system are home-made with rather dubious accuracy. As for the warhead, the occupiers boasted that it was allegedly comparable to the warhead of the Tochka-U missile (with a 482 kg high-explosive warhead).
The Snezhinka is based on the KrAZ-260 6×6 chassis, with a total weight of 17.6 tons with two missiles. A team of three people manages this homemade device.
