FIELD: rocketry; combat operations performed by salve fire; breaking hailclouds. SUBSTANCE: according to invention, ramjet launch vehicle includes central tactical missile with cylindrical afterburning chamber around it. Afterburning chamber is formed by separable peripheral missiles of the same class tightly arranged around central missile. During operation of launch vehicle, effective mode of air ejection and afterburning of working medium in circular clearance between central missile and chamber take place, thus increasing thrust-to-weight ratio of system without additional consumption of propellant. Besides, that, simultaneous delivery of group of missiles to target is ensured. EFFECT: reduced time to target; enhanced accuracy of hits. 7 cl, 13 dwg
