General info
| Rocket characteristics | |
|---|---|
| Mass | 11 kg |
| Maximum speed | 650 m/s |
| Explosive mass | 1.38 kg TNTeq |
| Warhead type | HEAT |
| Armour penetration | 420 mm |
Effective damage
The rocket has a low explosive filler, but a good amount of penetration, making it ideal for top attack. It will usually take out most MBTs with around 6 rockets. Light vehicles can be destroyed with a single rocket if hit directly.
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of rockets that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
The S-8KO rocket is effective against all ground targets thanks to its excellent penetration but requires precision due to the HEAT explosive warhead.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent penetration capability against armour
- 20 rockets per pod
Cons:
- Low explosive mass
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
