WARHEAD (MODIFICATIONS) Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: armaments, applicable in construction of warheads of rockets and other ammunitions equipped with explosives. SUBSTANCE: the known construction has a blasting charge and a body, in which ready-made compact hitting components adjoin the inner surface of the all-metal shell with their rectangular face. In modification 1 the ready-made hitting components in the adjacent lateral rows are shifted relative to one another by a half of their width, gaps are made between the faces of the adjacent lateral rows of the ready-made hitting components. In modification 2 the hitting components are located by longitudinal rows at an angle up to five degrees to the shell generating line, gaps determining the length of the formed rods at a blast of the blasting charge are made in the end zones of the assembly pf the ready-made hitting components between the faces of the adjacent-lateral rows. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of the warhead due to provision of stability of crushing of the cylindrical all-metal shell on the hitting components of the required dimensions and mass, crushing into fragments of the preset dimensions and along the generating line of the cylindrical all-metal shell in the points of the joints of the lateral rows of the ready-made hitting component inclusive. 4 cl, 5 dwg
