Interesantno sta je bilo posle Drugog svetskog rata, ko je sve imao kacuse.

Katyushas since World War II

The success and economy of multiple rocket launchers (MRL) have led them to continue to be developed. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union fielded several models of Katyushas, notably the BM-21 launchers fitting the stereotypical Katyusha mould, and the larger BM-27. Advances in artillery munitions have been applied to some Katyusha-type multiple launch rocket systems, including bomblet submunitions, remotely-deployed land mines, and chemical warheads.

Katyushas were exported to Afghanistan, Angola, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, East Germany, Hungary, Iran, North Korea, Poland, Syria, and Vietnam. They were also built in Czechoslovakia, People's Republic of China, North Korea, and Iran. Israel captured BM-24 MRLs during the Six-Day War (1967), used them in two battalions during the Yom Kippur War (1973) and the 1982 Lebanon War, and later developed the MAR-240 launcher for the same rockets, based on a Sherman tank chassis.

With the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited most of its military arsenal including the Katyusha rockets. In recent history, they have been used by Russian forces during the First and Second Chechen Wars and by Armenian and Azerbaijani forces during the Nagorno-Karabakh War. Katyushas have also been used outside Russia and the former Soviet republics. There were incidents reported that BM-21 launchers were used against American forces during 2003 invasion of Iraq. They have also been used in the Afghanistan and Iraqi insurgencies. Several types of multiple rocket launchers have been used by the Hezbollah Lebanese militia in the bombardment of Israeli towns, before and especially during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. The Hezbollah rocket arsenal included BM-21-derived launchers and longer-ranged Fajr-3 rockets. Katyusha's also saw action in the Korean war, used by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army against the South and Coaltion Forces. Russian BM-13s were known to have been imported to China before the Sino-Soviet split and were operational in the PLA.

A, evo i jedne slike, jeb....te deka, kakava vatra!

da skoro sve komunisticke zemlje izuzev jugoslavije JNA mislim da ih oni uopste nisu korsitili,osim nekoliko koje su dobili od rusa prilikom oslobodjenja Srbije 1944 ,sukob 1948 ...Infobiro ma znate situaciju,je sprijecio vecu upotrebu u JNA

da,ali i vecina nasih vojnih proizvoda su nastali od njihovih...zato mi je uvek bilo smesno to kad bi za politicko(i vojno) opredeljenje SFRJ pricali kako je potpuno nezavisna i tako to...nezavisna,a svo oruzje ili rusko,ili radjeno po ruskim proizvodima...

Ja sam negdje citao, navodno se sa jednim primjerkom digao u zrak jer su ih Nijemci opkolili i za to dobio posthumno neku grdnu medalju, al moguce da je prica izmisljena

Zvali su ga "Stalins Orgel", ili Staljinove orgulje zbog tipicnog jezivog zvuka pri ispaljivanju raketa

Katya, Katya, milyja Katjusa
