HIGH-EXPLOSIVE WARHEAD OF JET PROJECTILE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F42B12/24 F42B12/52 

FIELD: high-explosive ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: the warhead has a nose fuze, body, detonating filling, central detonator and a cross diaphragm serving as a shock-wave deflector. The body consists of an ogival head fragmentation section and a high-explosive section installed on the carrier shell. The fragmentation section is filled with a condensed explosive, inside it has a net of helical rifles inclined to the longitudinal axis at an angle of 30 to 45 deg, forming semi-finished affecting elements, whose material is sealed around the edges by a shaping plastic deformation. The high-explosive section has a tubular shell with a bottom filling assembly, filled with a fluid detonating composition, the detonator rests on the cross diaphragm, which is spaced from the bottom filling assembly at a distance comparable with the length of the inert circular lens of the detonator installed on the carrier shell.

EFFECT: enhanced power of the jet projectile due to separate formation of the high-speed affecting fragmentation elements of the head section and thermobaric affecting factor of the high-explosive section.
