History

The success of the Katyusha rocket launchers during World War II influenced the Soviet Union to develop newer and more powerful multiple rocket launchers after the war. First entering service in 1952, the BM-14 was a 140 mm multiple rocket launcher mounted in 16 total tubes on the ZiS-151 general-purpose truck. In 1959, the BM-14 saw a slight increase in firepower with the development of the BM-14-17. Adding an extra barrel, the BM-14-17 also differed in its launch platform using the GAZ-63A truck. It was also used on naval vessels such as the Pr.1204 patrol boats. A later modified version called the BM-14-17M used the GAZ-66 truck as its mount. The Soviets would later replace the design partially with the BM-21 Grad (“hail”), but the BM-14-17 remains in service in limited numbers even in the present day.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
