By the beginning of the war by the Soviet Army adopted the set of missiles: 82 mm shrapnel shells of M-8; 132 mm high-explosive rockets M-13 - it is those who massively tied for first "Katyusha"; 132 mm high-explosive projectile M-20; 300 mm high-explosive rockets M-30, M-31 and M-31 of the Criminal Code; 280 mm turbojet explosive projectile M-28. Dwell in detail on the M-20 and M-30, because they can be considered the beginning of the heavy rocket artillery.



M-13 on "Katyusha" course were good, sudden massive shelling caused in the ranks of the Germans terrible fear, and so on, but for the full-fledged offensive operations, they are not very fit - small enough damage. And it was necessary to destroy as the heavy equipment and ukrepsooruzheniya. So by the middle of '42 we were put into service the shells of M-20 warhead which was almost 3. 5 times more powerful than the M-13, and very soon, and the new M-30 missiles - almost 6 times more powerful.



M-20 successfully tightened the "Katyusha", but because of the slightly larger they had to run only a single row instead of two. But under the M-30, the guide did not fit (running forward to say that they still prikolhozili, but only in '44), so start them were made primitive launchers machines adjustable angle.

The machine is fit directly into the factory shells wooden packaging containers, first 4 in the package, then wholesale at 8. incinerate the whole thing in one fell swoop using conventional electric demining machines, and you can simultaneously connect multiple machines. The simultaneous launch of guaranteed addition of shock pulses in the vicinity of the landing, which was effectively the individual starts.

But because of the perpetual reluctance of end users to read manuals, or rather, manuals sharply disagreed on cigarettes and yet each ordinary (here's a pun), on battlefields often happened next. In preparation for the shooting forget to remove the spacers that held the projectile inside the frame during transport. And of course it all started from a place with a wooden box, and sometimes with the machine. And the size of the construction was about 1, 5 to 2 meters, which subsequently led to the talk in the ranks of the Germans that the Russian does ofigeli and shoot already sheds.
