Katyusha

BM-13-16 Katyusha, 132mm (Russia, 1941-1945)

The BM-13-16 – better known as the Katyusha ("little Katie") and dubbed Stalinorgel ("Stalin's organ") by German troops under its bombardment – was one of the first multiple rocket launchers in military service. The 16-shot launcher fired the M-13 artillery rocket. Intended primarily for Soviet trucks, it saw some use on tanks and naval vessels as well. It was short on range and accuracy, but put down a huge amount of explosive. A HE rocket costs $100.
