Rheinmetall-Borsig RZ 65 (High Explosive Rocket)

The RZ-65 rocket was carried under German aircraft from the autumn of 1942 onwards. The rockets were loaded in short tubes that could be carried in any variety of configurations, from a single row of four to a double row of twelve. The RZ-65 suffered from poor accuracy and didn't pack enough punch - barely more than the standard 20mm used at the time. The RZ-65 was modified to carry armor piercing ammunition and was used by the Fw.190A-3/U2 against light Russian armor, which it proved successful. It was never used in large numbers, but was useful as a prototype for future developments.
