The Victory Museum has opened an exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of the first Katusha salvo

A new exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of the first salvo of the Katyusha rocket launcher opened on July 10 at the Victory Museum in Moscow.

The exposition became a part of the updated project "Heroes of the rear". One of the participants of the exhibition was the Kalibr plant, the first large specialized enterprise in the USSR for the production of precision measuring instruments, which allowed the launch of Katyusha rockets during the Great Patriotic War (WWII).

"There was no way to dock without these devices. It's a really big projectile and a lot of energy. The parameters needed to be so precise to avoid a shell explosion. This is what Germany came to many years later," said Andrey Musatov, CEO of PJSC Kalibr.

The factory handed over to the Victory Museum unique wartime rarities, including equipment and parts that provided the first Katyusha salvo in 1941.
