CZK - RKP 1 (105mm raketomet)

Project of a 105 mm calibre rocket launcher made by Škoda Plzeň in 1947. The rocket launcher consisted of 6 rocket tubes (2x3 rocket tube bundle), which fired 105mm wing-stabilized rockets (similar to the Soviet RS-132). The Skoda winged rocket project (documentation Mu 2175T dated October 4, 1947) was rejected by the army and was offered for export. Development concentrated on rotation-stabilised rockets.


In addition to the towed version, there was also a proposal for a self-propelled rocket launcher RKH 1.
