"Those Katusha rockets AKA Grado are the better picks for now.." It is Katyusha. A Russian diminutive of Katherine. If you are going to use the wrong name, you might as well get it right... Or something. Like with the Grad. It is a NATO designation and they do those in English and not Italian. The reason why the rockets themselves don't carry that name is because there are a number of rockets that can fit in those launchers. The rockets don't even need the launchers, it just makes the whole system more flexible and survivable. The black market is afloat with the rockets. Launchers aren't hard to get either. Over 30 countries make the Grad, even more make the rockets that go in them. China is the number 1 producer of both.
