Katiusha

Nacionalidad: Unión Soviética
Fecha: 1941
Calibre: 82 mm., 132 mm., 280 mm. o 300 mm.
Alcance: 8 kms.


En 1928 los científicos soviéticos Artomiev y Tikomirov diseñaron un proyectil de 82 mm. capaz de ser lanzado a una distancia entre 5 y 6 kilómetros. Su construcción se realizó en los laboratorios Dinámica del Gas, de Leningrado.
Diez años más tarde comenzó la construcción de armazones, denominados "Boeivaia Mashina", máquina de combate BM, calificados como "lanzaminas propulsadas a reacción". La conjunción de ambos, el proyectil y el lanzaminas, dió lugar a una de las más temidas y destructoras armas de los soviéticos: los Katiusha, también conocidos como los "órganos de Stalin".
Arma muy desmoralizante para el adversario, permitía disparar 16 proyectiles de manera simultánea gracias a su diseño. En efecto, se trataba de una rampa doble instalada sobre un camión -los soviéticos apreciaban el Studebaker norteamericano, aunque también se usó el ZIS o GAZ de tres ejes y 7,2 toneladas-, que constaba de 16 tubos lanzadores.
El peso de la carga era de 20 kgs., y el tiempo de carga entre 7 y 10 minutos. La salva duraba 10 segundos.
Su uso táctico consistía en fuegos de saturación, produciendo un fuerte efecto psicológico en el enemigo dada la intensidad y velocidad del tiro.

sorrowangel47 do not tell nonsense! The USSR has broken the German army a ridge, having destroyed in 1942 completely 6 army Pauljusa, having crushed near Kursk in 1943 17 divisions with the newest tanks "Panthers" and "Ferdinand". In the summer 1944 we released already the Eastern Europe when the USA only has dared to enter war and to land on July, 6th 1944 in Normandy.

@SimonBezemer if russia had been a democracy, it would have been a lone country, and pretty much would have been crushed as most countries,besides it wouldn´t had the production rates needed for the war effort that only the USSR could provide,it was the soviet union,not only the russians who won the war.

@spellir74 I was fascinated to read your points on English spelling mate. I would point out that the international community of linguists. Except the Oxford English dictionary as the prime form of English. All other forms of the language as secondary. It is generally excepted that a form of spelling is correct only in its particular version of English and that the Oxford spelling is the internationally correct form. Personally I don’t give toss as long as we can all understand it. :-)

@jujapepo You are correct that it was Russia that defeated the Germans. Not that most western historians like to admit that. But I would say it was mostly done despite Stalin. Rather than because of him. In fact I would go as far as to say he was a bloody liability much of the time mate.
