Kestrel Anti-armor Rocket "Kestel" is one of the small raptors of Falcon and is manufactured by , a Zhongshan Institute of Science, Taiwan, China. The Kestrel anti-armored rocket is provided to the Army to replace the old 66 rocket (imitate the M72 light anti-armored weapon).
is mainly due to the fact that the Taiwan Army's active short-range anti-armored rockets such as the purchase of AT4 anti-tank bazooka , APILAS, shoulder-fired multi-purpose attack weapons and self-produced 66 rockets have exceeded their service life, seriously affecting the anti-armored combat effectiveness of "southshore maneuvering and urban combat". That is why the Kestrel anti-armor rocket was developed, and the prototype sample of the development was exhibited at the Aerospace Exhibition in 2009 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
looks like a rocket with a US-made M72A4 rocket and has almost the same power. The projectile body is about 1.6 kilograms, with a range of more than 300 meters, and has an armor-piercing ability of more than 300 mm. It uses a high-explosive anti-tank warhead (HEAT) to attack ordinary armored vehicles or bunkers. However, it may be of little use to deal with advanced tanks. Perhaps this is also the limitation of the transformation of the island. It is not easy to maneuver in Taiwan. It is mainly light armor to deal with the so-called "enemy" attack.
Then he appeared again at the Aerospace Exhibition in 2011, but what is more special is that Taichung Academy has redesigned the appearance of the launcher. In addition to the integrated tubular and post-injection discarding design, the transmitter is made of reinforced plastic fibers, which has the characteristics of light weight, strong structure, simple operation, and light carrying capacity, with a large improvement range. Continue to make a fuss, and by the 2013 Aerospace Exhibition, a new rocket warhead was added, called the attack warhead (Kill Falcon Project). It is said that it can have 400 mm armor-piercing capacity, with a maximum range of more than 1,200 meters, and can penetrate 30 cm thick brick walls or 20 cm thick steel reinforced concrete. The surface damage diameter is 70-90 cm, and has an effective range of more than 400 meters. It is somewhat believed that its system performance is comparable to that of current anti-armored rockets, and can also be used for counterterrorism and urban street fighting.
