The Katyusha rocket launcher volleys became the culmination of the Scarlet Sails holiday

The culmination of the Scarlet Sails Alumni celebration in St. Petersburg on June 29 was the firing of real Katyusha launchers (BM-13). Five rocket-propelled artillery combat vehicles were waiting for the command on the Troitsky Bridge.

One of the legendary Katyusha rockets was delivered to the center of the Northern Capital specifically for the main alumni event. The BM-13 is a unique museum exhibit that has been preserved since the Great Patriotic War. The machines are preserved and maintained in decent condition by the Lenreserv Patriotic Association.
