Historical Information and Usage

The rocket artillery of the Red Army, widely known as the "Katyusha," played a key role on the front lines during World War II, especially from 1941 to 1945. Based on various truck chassis, these systems allowed for rapid unit movement and delivered powerful, concentrated rocket barrages against enemy targets. The first combat use took place in 1941 during the Battle of Smolensk, and subsequently, BM-13 rocket launchers appeared on nearly all major Eastern Fronts—including the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, and later during the Berlin offensive.
