Wurfrahmen 40

The Wurfrahmen 40 ("launch frame 40") was a German World War II multiple rocket launcher.

Although spin stabilized, the rockets were not as accurate as conventional artillery, and reloading was time-consuming due to their weight.

Where feasible, rockets were ripple-fired in large numbers to quickly saturate a target.

The system was successful as a support weapon for mobile Panzer formations, particularly in urban areas.

Some captured American M3 halftracks also mounted Wurfrahmen, with four frames at two per side.
