BM-13 "Katyusha"

The BM-13 "Katyusha" was a Soviet multiple rocket launcher used during World War II. It could fire a barrage of small, powerful rockets rapidly, creating a devastating explosion over enemy positions. Mounted on trucks, it was mobile and could quickly relocate, making it effective for surprise attacks and rapid strikes. Its ability to deliver a high volume of fire in a short time significantly boosted Soviet artillery capabilities, often causing confusion and heavy damage to enemy troops and equipment. The "Katyusha" played a key role in enhancing Soviet battlefield mobility and firepower during the war.
