CASSETTE BLOCK FOR REMOTE MINING Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F42B12/58 

FIELD: cluster munitions.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to cluster blocks for remote mining of terrain with anti-tank cumulative mines. Cassette unit for remote mining contains a cylindrical cup, a self-destruction time setting unit, a piston, a cover, and fixed in a single row inside the cylindrical cup, coaxially with it between the piston and the cover, elongated semi-cylindrical anti-tank cumulative mines, on the flat side of each of which a folding spring-loaded orienting stabilizer is fixed. In the centre of the bottom of the cylindrical cup there is an ignition and expulsion device with the possibility of delaying the unpacking of the cassette unit and ejection of anti-tank cumulative mines with a reduced speed of entry into the oncoming air flow, at which the spring-loaded orienting device does not break off from the mine, after opening the cassette warhead of the carrier projectile. Four legs are fixed on the lid at the outlet of the cylindrical cup with the possibility of preventing the cassette block from turning relative to the intermediate disk between the cassette blocks in the cassette head part of the projectile-carrier. Inside the cylindrical cup, between the anti-tank mines and the inner wall of the cylindrical cup, inserts are placed with the possibility of ensuring the stability of the cylindrical cup of the cassette block to the effect of external pressure of powder gases in the cassette warhead of the carrier projectile. A destabilizer is fixed on the lid at the outlet of the cylindrical cup with the possibility of braking the cassette unit after opening the cassette warhead of the launch vehicle on the trajectory to prevent the stabilizer from falling off the mine. On the outer side of the bottom of the cylindrical cup, guides are fixed to prevent rotation of the cartridge blocks relative to the load-bearing elements of the cartridge head part of the projectile-carrier.

EFFECT: increase of efficiency of remote mining.
