Vilkha entered service in the Ukrainian armed forces in 2018.

The claimed truck speed is 100 km/h using a turbocharged diesel YaMZ-7511.10 engine.

[2] Using the existing body of a 9M55 rocket with a range of 70 km and a 250 kg warhead, the upgraded R624 rocket adds a new solid-fuel engine, GPS-aided inertial guidance, 90 small gas rudders (holes emitting propellant) and aerodynamic vanes that extend during the final approach to achieve a circular error probable (CEP) of 10 m. The upgraded Vilkha-M uses the improved R624M rocket, which reduces warhead weight to 170 kg to reach a longer range of 130 km, though with less accuracy of 30 m CEP.

[3][1] The Vilkha has been seen in use with the Ukrainian Ground Forces during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

[4] Ivan Vinnyk, first deputy head of the National Association of Ukrainian Defense Industries has confirmed on 1 March 2023 that “Yes, the Vilkha has been used in combat,” first used in May 2022.
