It's some edition of a Jane's yearbook (probably Armor and Artillery). The font and format is a dead giveaway.

The odd thing is that in my 1992-93 Armor and Artillery, SAKR-80 is described as a 325mm rocket rather than a 210mm one. The text and statistics are otherwise almost identical, except that the rocket motor described here as a "cruise or secondary stage " motor is described in my edition as a "spin rotation motor" to stabilize the rocket. The same exact parameters are used to describe it, however. The rocket's claimed weight of 660-700 kg is definitely more consistent with the larger 325mm size than 210mm.

And then there are sources that split the difference and call it a 310mm rocket.
