Originally applied to any group of infantry primarily armed with projectile weapons, artillery has over time become limited in meaning to refer only to those engines of war that operate by projection of munitions far beyond the range of effect of personal weapons. These engines comprise specialised devices which use some form of stored energy to operate, whether mechanical, chemical, or electromagnetic. Originally designed to breach fortifications, they have evolved from nearly static installations intended to reduce a single obstacle to highly mobile weapons of great flexibility in which now reposes the greater portion of a modern army's offensive capabilities.
During the eighties, the Soviet Union was experimenting with this big brother of the SMERCH.
The whole system weighed around 70 tons. The rockets were 450mm in diameter and were 20 meters long. WIth a range of around 120 - 150 km. The system never made it to production.

no wonder it never went to production,
enemies would surrender at the sight of it then
