Subsequently, heavier systems were developed, employing 280 mm high-explosive and 320 mm incendiary rockets. These powerful munitions, weighing around 80 kg, had a range of approximately 2 km and were intended to break through enemy defences in both field and urban conditions.
To improve mobility, launchers were mounted on various platforms. One such system was based on the Sd.Kfz. 251 armoured personnel carrier. It was equipped with three wooden or metal launch frames on each side, carrying rocket projectiles. Elevation was adjusted by changing the angle of the frames, while horizontal aiming was achieved by turning the entire vehicle. The rockets were fired electrically via remote ignition.
Among German soldiers, this system earned the nickname Stuka zu Fuß (“Stuka on foot”), referencing the famous Ju 87 dive bomber.
