Rockets are intended for launching from a four barrel L-128-04 rocket launcher which is suitable for readily adaptable to any fixed or rotary wing aircraft capable of carrying such payloads and provided with weapon release units of 250 mm to 355.6 mm (14 –inch NATO STANDARD) hook spacing.
The rocket has a total weight of 52 kg with a FRAG (Fragmentation) warhead explosive charge of 5 kg. It has an effective range from 1,500 to 3,000 m. Fragmentation warheads are intended to defeat virtually all types of targets, excluding overburden targets underground and underwater, and heavily armored targets. In fragmentation warheads, the detonation of the secondary high explosive core generates a large amount of heat and gaseous products.High explosives have an extremely high rate of reaction and the presence of a detonation (shock) wave that moves faster than the speed of sound in the explosive material. Upon detonation, the metal warhead casing almost instantaneously catastrophically fails and bursts, producing a blast of rapidly expanding hot gases and casing fragments. |
