HIGH-EXPLOSIVE FRAGMENTATION AERIAL BOMB Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC F42B12/24 

FIELD: ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of destruction, namely to aerial bombs intended for use from small, including unmanned aerial aerodynamic carriers, and specifically to high-explosive fragmentation bombs. High-explosive fragmentation bomb comprises high-explosive fragmentation projectile and stabilizer. High-explosive fragmentation projectile consists of a head fuse, a warhead including an aluminium body made in the form of a pipe, on the outer surface of which there are ready striking elements, and an explosive charge inside. Finished striking elements are made in the form of balls from a heavy alloy based on tungsten weighing 1.0-2.4 g, as well as from steel weighing 0.5-1.0 g, bonded to each other and the housing with a binder. Ratio of mass of explosive substance to mass of fragmentation part of article is in range of 0.44-0.50, which determines speed of fragments dispersion, which is equal to 1/3 of detonation speed of explosive charge.

EFFECT: standard ammunition used from small aerodynamic carriers, with high manufacturability of the warhead design using ready-made striking elements, while maintaining characteristics of fragmentation power.
