You seem to know quite a bit about this! Is this article meant to educate or intimidate? If it is to educate that is fine. If it is to intimidate,

well, I don't know anything about rockets or weapons of war, but I will boast in my God. The God of all Creation!

It’s slightly false to say that the Katyusha (better identified as one of the BM-8, BM-13, BM-31 or more likely here the BM-21 model) was “developed by the Nazis”. While they worked on similar projects, their version was called the Nebelwerfer.
It doesn't make the world safer? We're already 'safered' to death. No smoking, wear a helmet, don’t exceed the speed limit, don’t drink from lexan, safe sex, don’t share drinks and many others. Why can’t we get back to the good old days when life was short, brutish and unpleasant? That was the way God intended it, surely? Notice that God didn’t make televisions, books, toilet paper, artillery, lasers, FEMA trailers or sofas?
