RO-107
Notes: This South African multiple rocket launcher is a reverse-engineered version of the Chinese Type 63 MRL, mounted on a Mamba Mk 2 light APC chassis. The rear cargo area is taken up with the MRL, and a complete set of extra rockets are carried below the MRL in a special compartment. In South Africa, this vehicle is used only by airborne units, but it has been sold to several other African nations.

Valkiri Mk I
Notes: This was South Africa's first indigenous attempt at a multiple rocket launcher, meant for counterbattery work against the BM-21 MRLs fielded by neighboring African nations. It is mounted on a Unimog U-140L chassis. The vehicle is fitted with canopy railings over the launcher box to disguise the vehicle as an ordinary truck. Before firing, two supports are lowered at the rear to stabilize the vehicle. Note that the Mk I is not capable of firing the heavier long-range rockets.

Valkiri Mk II
Notes: This is an improved multiple rocket launcher mounted on an armored and mine-protected version of the SAMIL 100 truck. If this vehicle hits a mine, treat the floor armor as double the heaviest face of armor, and the suspension as one point greater. The cab is extended in order to allow for the fire control equipment. The Valkiri Mk II may fire without an FDC if the target location is known. The MRL comes off as an integrated unit, and may be mounted on any vehicle capable of carrying 10 tons or greater. The vehicle includes a 100-liter water tank for the crew. Two 100-liter extra fuel tanks may be added.
