Ok, some stupid stuff here. rocket artillery system is not defined by what it can shoot, but by rocekts themselves. To write rocket artillery can shoot ballistic missiles is moronic. I am deleting the funny piece. ALso, we could post some more pictures of rocekt artillery, some russian maybe? Since russians are pioneers.99.231.63.253 (talk) 02:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)Pavel Golikov.

Rocket artillery means Rocket Launcher vehicles which shoot artillery rockets over a range of tens of kilometers. One vehicle can shoot several or all (even 40) rockets simultaneously.

Rocket artillery appeared in the bigger scale during World War II by the Nazi Germany (Nebelwerfer) and Soviet Union (BM-13 Katyusha).

When will wiki become a reliable source?? :( Nothng is mentioned about Grad, Uragan or Smerch MLRs, especialy considering the last one is the most powerful rocket artillery piece in the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.63.253 (talk) 20:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I've seen photos of US WWII-era aircraft and ships firing rockets, so the World War II section must not be terribly complete (though the language is very definite). The LCI(R) was a rocket-armed landing craft, for instance. At least the Corsair F4U could be armed with rockets: see the photo on http://www.aviation-history.com/vought/f4u.html and the Wikipedia article F4U_Corsair . If I get the opportunity I'll try to update this article, but I'm hoping someone who knows where the accurate sources are can do it instead of me starting from scratch. - Rapscallion (talk) 02:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
