CZK - RKH 2 (130mm samohybný raketomet)

Design plan of a self-propelled rocket launcher on the chassis of the German HKL6p (ex. Sd.Kfz.251) was presented in 2/1948. The rocket launcher consisted of 25 rocket tubes (5x5 rocket bundle), which fired 130mm rotationally stabilized rockets. The project was rejected by the Army and was offered for export. The development of the 130mm rocket continued further and another self-propelled rocket launcher project RP 2 was also created, and later a production version vz.51 was produced.
