Historical description and use

Siege machines played a key role during medieval wars, making it possible to breach enemy fortifications and carry out effective attacks on fortresses and castles. The Zvezda 8014 kit includes the most characteristic designs, such as a catapult, trebuchet, and ballista. Such devices were used throughout Europe across the centuries, particularly from the 11th to the 15th century, during numerous sieges of castles and cities. Examples include the use of trebuchets during the siege of Orléans in the Hundred Years' War or catapults during the sieges of the Crusades.
