Katyusha rocket launcher Katyusha Rocket Launcher

rdfs:comment

Katyusha Rocket Launchers can be seen in mission "Breakdown", just outside of the window in front of General Belov. The player's objective is to get the replacement radio to the forward observer in the train station, so he can give firing coordinates for the Katyusha Rockets team onto the German armoured column. Later, in "Operation Little Saturn", a group of Katyusha Rocket Launcher Team led by Raven support Nikolai's Armoured Tank Squad to breaches the German Airfield front gate. While Albrecht von Wallenstein was engaged in the Second battle of the White Mountain, leaving Prague vulnerable to Heinrich Holk's forces, Red Sybolt created a makeshift Katyusha by setting multiple rocket launchers on top of a pickup truck, and firing them with a button installed in the driver's compartment. Sybolt was the first to use the term, possibly because the original Soviet Katyushas were usually mounted on trucks. It was effective because it was used against tightly packed troops in a confined space, and fired at close range. Sybolt was careful to point out that the original Katyushas had only been effective at long range because the Soviets had a lot of them. Katyusha multiple rocket launchers () are a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver a devastating amount of explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are inexpensive and easy to produce. Katyushas of World War II, the first self-propelled artillery mass-produced by the Soviet Union, were usually mounted on trucks. This mobility gave the Katyusha (and other self-propelled artillery) another advantage: being able to deliver a large blow all at once, and then move before being located and attacked with counter-battery fire.

Katyusha Rocket Launchers can be seen in mission "Breakdown", just outside of the window in front of General Belov. The player's objective is to get the replacement radio to the forward observer in the train station, so he can give firing coordinates for the Katyusha Rockets team onto the German armoured column. Later, in "Operation Little Saturn", a group of Katyusha Rocket Launcher Team led by Raven support Nikolai's Armoured Tank Squad to breaches the German Airfield front gate. While Albrecht von Wallenstein was engaged in the Second battle of the White Mountain, leaving Prague vulnerable to Heinrich Holk's forces, Red Sybolt created a makeshift Katyusha by setting multiple rocket launchers on top of a pickup truck, and firing them with a button installed in the driver's compartment. Sybolt was the first to use the term, possibly because the original Soviet Katyushas were usually mounted on trucks. It was effective because it was used against tightly packed troops in a confined space, and fired at close range. Sybolt was careful to point out that the original Katyushas had only been effective at long range because the Soviets had a lot of them. There is no indication that the term has been applied to any other rocket launchers. While the Ottoman Empire has used rocket bombardments, they do not appear to have developed Katyusha-style mobile rocket launchers. If they have, they do not appear to have shown any. Katyusha multiple rocket launchers () are a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver a devastating amount of explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are inexpensive and easy to produce. Katyushas of World War II, the first self-propelled artillery mass-produced by the Soviet Union, were usually mounted on trucks. This mobility gave the Katyusha (and other self-propelled artillery) another advantage: being able to deliver a large blow all at once, and then move before being located and attacked with counter-battery fire. Katyusha weapons of World War II included the BM-13 launcher, light BM-8, and heavy BM-31. Today, the nickname is also applied to newer truck-mounted Soviet (and not only Soviet) multiple rocket launchers—notably the common BM-21—and derivatives.
