"Katyusha multiple rocket launchers (Russian: \u041A\u0430\u0442\u044E\u0301\u0448\u0430; IPA: [k\u0250\u02C8t\u02B2u\u0282\u0259]) are a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are inexpensive and easy to produce."@en . . "Katyusha"@en . . . .
