Rocket design Unguided aviation rocket S-8КОМ-MВЕ consists of a warhead with a mounted piezo-electrical fuse system and a rocket motor. The rocket motor is composed of solid ballistic fuel and in the temperature range from 213 К to 333 К has the following characteristics: - sum impulse of the thrust - from 5394 N.s to 5984 N.s;
- working time - from 0,45 s to 1,3s.
A modern method for manufacturing from pre-shaped aluminum pipes is being used for the construction of the housing. |
Intended use Unguided aviation rocket S-8КОМ-MВЕ is from the class "air to surface" and it is intended for destruction of: - armored ground targets (tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles and armored personnel carriers);
- unarmored ground targets (specialized machines, radar stations, airplanes and helicopters on the ground etc.);
- enemy troops;
