Combustible equipment is located in free space between them. Shell of finished incendiary segments is made of combustible material withstanding high deformations. On the surface of the shell there are through holes and gases formed when the explosive charge is detonated, having the possibility, flowing through these holes, to throw a segment from the surface, providing more effective hitting of the target with fragmentation elements.
