Spanish G2 rocket

[klem]

It was in a post-war effort in a world of uncertainty where blocks were forming, the Spanichs seeking to innovate their military armament equipment like all the nations of Europe, then with a spirit inventive they wanted to access new technologies and calling on their technicians and engineers to create and produce new weapons some of their work, resulted in the G2 rocket to consolidate the field of artillery.

Extremely interesting!

Are there any more data about those projectiles? Especially interesting is a tank-mounted version.

I my memory serves me well, the Sturmgeschütz III-based launcher was built sometime in the mid-1950s (1954?) so it's rather doubtful that the rocket had been developed during the civil war.
If so, it must have been well ahead of its time, don't you think?

Found this better photo:



Claims to be post-war (1970s) Spanish rocket launcher on Stug III base.

I was initially confused by mount shape - on original photo it looks almost like T-26 turret. But on this photo its obvious Stug III.

Okay, this is definitely not the Civil War era weapon:




So its apparently the post-war 15-inch artillery rocket (spin-stabilized), put on retired Stug-III for mobile testing purposes.

Thank you dear Dilandu for the additional information which comes from the source and not from the websites and this review do you have it?
