If used as designed - dozens or even hundreds of rockets in a small cut of time hitting aerial target and destroying anything within it, if not covered in proper shelters.
However, various mujahedeens used those rockets in `semi` firing regime, targeting individual rockets on invaders/peacekeepers garrisons or near countries. Such weapons were used also in Afghanistan 1979-1989 and nowadays, in Iraq and Lebanon, mostly in `single-shot` mode... use of them `as designed` (MRLS) still remains advantage of regular army, not insurgents.
