10 most powerful multiple launch rocket artillery systems in the world

Multiple launch rocket artillery systems play an increasingly important role in wars, considered a game-changing weapon on the battlefield. First developed in 1409, the North Korean rocket is considered the first version of a weapon system with functions and mechanisms similar to today's multi-barreled rocket artillery. However, it was not until the 1930s that the first multi-barreled rocket artillery appeared, it was a small towed artillery gun named Nebelwerfer developed by the Nazis. Later, during World War II, the Western Allies created similar weapons in the form of a missile called Mattress. The first and most famous self-propelled multiple rocket launcher was the Soviet Red Army's BM-13 Cachiusa, which was first used during the Great Patriotic War and was exported to many countries. another family later. It is a simple system consisting of a rack of missile rails, placed on the back of a truck. This structure became the prototype for later multi-barreled rocket artillery. Below is a ranking of the top 10 most powerful multiple launch rocket systems in the world.
