The NSU-designed Kettenkrad was operational from 1938 to 1948. After the fall of Nazi Germany, the Kettenkrad were entirely phased out of the armed forces and employed primarily in agriculture. Both the North African Theater and the Western Front saw action involving the Kettenkrad.

4. RM-70 – Czech Republic

Producer: Raketomet Main Users: Army of Czechoslovakia Expense: $2,000.* Czechoslovakia is the birthplace of the self-propelled multiple rocket launcher known as the RM-70. A heavier version of the BM-21 Grad, the RM-70 outperforms the earlier rocket system, which was first launched in the early 1970s.

RM-70, Wikimedia.org, and Tomas Kovarik The Czech Army found the RM-70, which has been in service since the 1970s, innovative since it could hold forty more 120mm rockets. The RM-70 can fire both singles and volleys of rocket rounds, primarily via indirect fire, and performs similarly to the Grad in terms of speed and range. The 8x8 steel-armored truck needs six crew members to operate it.
