General Information
A rocket is a type of amunition that can be fired in flight, from a ground vehicle and from warship. There are two groups of rockets: Anti-ground and anti-aircraft.
Some rockets explode on impact and some have their own fuse. The rocket contains a thruster, fuel and explosive. But there are other types of rockets that are guided, they also contain a guidance mechanism.
Rockets can be carried by:
- Planes
- Fighters (P-47 Thunderbolt)
- Strike aircraft (IL-2)
- Bombers (PV-2D Harpoon)
- Helicopters
- Utility Helicopter (G-Lynx)
- Attack Helicopter (Mi-24)
- Ground vehincles
- Tank destroyers (BM-13 Kaťuša)
- Anti-aircraft (M3 Bradley)
- Tanks (M4 Sherman Calliope)
- Warships
- Ships (SKR-1)
Rocket structure
There are several types of rockets, but here is described Multi-nozzle rocket:
- Head
- Nose & base fuze - What ensures an explosion after impact
- High explosive - An explosive that destroys the target
- Igniter - It allows the rocket to be launched not only after impact, but also in the air
- Motor
- Cruciform propellant powder grain - Rocket fuel
- Grain support space - It ensures that the fuel does not overflow
- Central nozzle with blowout seal surrounded by eight other nozzles - Rocket propulsion
- Fins - For direct rocket flight
Rocket groups
There are several types of missiles, such as anti-aircraft unguided or anti-ground guided
Anti-aircraft unguided
It is used to destroy other planes, it has its own fuse.
