Historical Model – BM-13HMM Katyusha

Katyusha rocket launchers first appeared in the Red Army during World War II. Designed for rapid bombardment of enemy areas, they achieved a level of effectiveness unattainable for traditional artillery, though with less accuracy. After the war, the construction was developed further, and the presented BM-13HMM variant was mounted on the durable postwar ZIL-131 chassis during the Cold War and modern times. This equipment was used not only by the USSR but also by Warsaw Pact countries and allied states around the world.
