By 1940, the Wehrmacht had already introduced 158 mm multiple rocket launchers—the 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41—for direct fire support of ground units.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubsequently, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong German soldiers, this system earned the nickname Stuka zu Fuß (“Stuka on foot”), referencing the famous Ju 87 dive bomber.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35   \u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM Models   \u003cstrong\u003eItem:\u003c\/strong\u003e ICM35107\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: ICM Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubject: Sd.Kfz.251 Halftrack with MLRS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: ICM35107\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Military Vehicle Model Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/icm-models\"\u003eICM Models\u003c\/a\u003e, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/military-models\"\u003eMilitary Models\u003c\/a\u003e or prepare your next project with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tools-supplies\"\u003eTools \u0026amp; Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e at Mega Hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67974301941834,"sku":"ICM35107","price":65.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/3066\/5546\/files\/icm35107-135-icm-sdkfz.251-halftrack-wmlrs-preorder-squadron-model-models__41554.1786647758.jpg?v=1794548714","url":"https:\/\/megahobby.com\/products\/icm35107","provider":"Mega Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
