History.
The Katyusha rocket launchers were a renowned family of Soviet-made weapons. They saw combat deployment from mid-1941 onwards. Despite their low accuracy, Katyushas proved highly effective in shelling enemy positions due to the concentrated barrage on a relatively small area and the sheer quantity of rockets launched. The piercing sound of these missiles being launched instilled panic among enemy ranks, earning the weapons the nickname "Stalin's Organs" by the Germans. The BM-13 model was a rail-mounted rocket launcher mounted on the ZIS car chassis, with M-13 missiles arranged in two rows. Depending on the version, they had a range of over 9 kilometers.
