History.

The V-2 rocket, or Vergeltungswaffe-2 ("Vengeance Weapon 2"), was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile, developed by the Germans during World War II. Designed by the German engineer Wernher von Braun and his team, the V-2 was a response to the Allied bombing of German cities. It was intended as a weapon of terror, capable of delivering a one-tonne warhead to targets up to 320 kilometres away.

The V-2 was first launched against Paris and London in September 1944, causing significant destruction and civilian casualties. Unlike earlier weapons, the V-2 travelled faster than the speed of sound, making it nearly impossible to intercept. Though it had little impact on the outcome of the war, the V-2 marked a significant technological advancement. After the war, its technology laid the groundwork for modern space exploration and missile development, influencing both American and Soviet space programmes.
