M-13 rocket

The M-13 rocket, also known as the "Katyusha" rocket, is a type of artillery rocket used primarily by the Soviet Union and its allies. Developed during World War II, it is known for its ability to deliver explosive warheads over long distances with high accuracy. Launched from mobile platforms, the M-13 offered rapid fire capabilities, making it effective for both offensive and defensive operations. Its design inspired later artillery systems, and it played a significant role in military tactics by enabling quick strikes against enemy positions while minimizing exposure to counterattacks.
