Actually, the UK and US both used multiple rocket launch systems during WWII. The UK had what they called the "Landmattress" which was similar to the Katyusha, but it was just set up on the ground. It was not attached to a truck. The US mounted them on large landing ships in the Pacific and used them to bombard Japanese defenses. The US also had some mounted on Jeeps and Sherman tanks (called Calliopes).

Actually at least 12 of them came from the US, possibly more. Most of the strikes against Russia listed as coming from HIMARS systems are probably actually from M270s, as you guys have way more of them than HIMARS and they fire the same missiles. Frankly, the terrain in Ukraine means the M270 is likely the more useful of the two. It's better offroad, only a little less advanced than the HIMARS, and can fire twice as many rockets before reloading. The only downside it has that would be relevant is that it's a lot slower to move.

These aren't as effective as HIMARS ATM. The biggest advantage of HIMARS that not many other multiple rocket launchers have is it can shoot a volley of missiles and quickly scoot away to somewhere else. Even at the half of capacity, that distinction makes it highly effective.

Imagine the cluster one, but instead it releases 400 switchblade-like seekers that communicate with each other to maximize target coverage. I bet they are working on that right now.

I was close to finishing School in Germany in the late 90s and would have been mustered for a compulsory service time if it weren't for my scoliosis. But I at least got the opportunity to make a weekend visit to a rocket artillery battalion as a preliminary for people that wanted to enlist after their "Wehrdienst" for a certain time. They were equipped with the same machines designated MARS.

Good ole Fort Sill, Lawton, Oklahoma.....! ARTILLERY...!

For those that don't know: Rockets are dumb (fire in general location). Missles are smart (do what you want them to do...and think by themselves). If the munition has a device that individually can "distinguish/change course"...it's a missle, i.e, Heat, radar etc... Newer gen's have both and are refered to as "MARK's" (semi-missle and rocket). Almost an "oop's" weap. Not exactly dumb, but knows basically what to do.

Not exactly but close. Missile means it can change direction in flight. We had smart rockets and bomlets that could zero in on enemie vehicles.

Not all rockets are dumb. Some rockets are laser guided too.

There is a looped Katyusha rocket launcher video on youtube. It is like listening to an orchestra playing a symphony.

Awesome 😎

It seems nice 👍

what a beautiful scene..

See, this is how it's done. Rockets which are GPS guided along with a tremendous range, while carrying a ridiculously large number of cluster munitions as a general anti-personnel or soft target attack, along with multiple other variants of missile if the intended target needs something larger on a single point. Also, take note that they aren't 1940's era trucks which fire their rockets as if they're trying to create a "spray and pray" rocket-based machine gun; putting the same platform on both 6x6 trucks and tracked vehicles expands the capabilities too. Accurate and slower firing of about one every four seconds will combine with the other aspects mentioned, and result in a larger area of effect landing precisely within the grid square covered as intended. Not just a bunch of rockets which land several hundred meters apart in regards to both distance fired and left-to-right spread.
