CZK - RK 2 (130mm raketomet)

Project of a 130mm calibre rocket launcher by Škoda, Plzeň (documentation Zb 1157 P) from 1948/49.
The fired rockets were rotationally stabilized. The rocket launcher consisted of 24 barrels (bundle of 4x8 barrels). The project was not successful and did not see serial production and introduction into the army. There was also a project for a self-propelled rocket launcher RP 2.
The development of the 130mm rocket continued further and resulted in mass production and introduction into the army as the vz.51.
