aviation rocket (airborne rocket), also known as "airborne rocket", is a non-guided rocket weapon that launches and attacks airborne or ground (sea) targets by carrier aircraft. It is a non-guided weapon powered by the rocket engine launched from a launcher suspended from the fuselage or wing. Due to the limitations of the size, load capacity and speed of the aircraft, the bullet body is generally smaller, and the launcher is also streamlined. Compared with aerial cannon , aviation rockets have a long range, large caliber and great power, and can play a great role in modern air combat and ground (sea) surface attack operations.
aviation rockets are an important weapon for armed helicopter to carry out fire strikes and fire support on ground troops, forming suppressive firepower. Currently, the rocket calibers used on helicopters mainly include 37, 50, 57, 68, 70, 80, 90, 100 and 127 mm, and the range is generally between 1500-6000 meters.
In the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di led the cavalry in northern Selangor to be invincible and had no results in defeat. The imperial army, dominated by infantry, was defeated repeatedly. The southern army led by Li Jinglong used a rocket launcher composed of magical arrows, putting huge pressure on Zhu Di's army. "Wu Beizhi" records more than a dozen types of rockets fired multiple volleys. Among them, there were 20 "Fire Dragon Arrows" launched at one time, 32 "bees" launched at one time, and 100 "Hundred Tigers Running Arrows" launched at one time, etc. These rockets are installed in a cylinder container, connecting the medicine line to a bus. During combat, there are often dozens to hundreds of barrels of barrels. "As soon as the bus is ignited, the public will be launched together, and the momentum is like a thunderous attack, no one dares to stand the edge."
Hydra"-70 is a 70mm rocket developed by General Dynamics . Since its debut in the 1970s, it has derived a variety of models, all of which use Mk66 rocket engines. The difference is that it is equipped with different warheads and fuzes.
By the mid-1980s, various models of "Hydra"-70 have been equipped with a large number of helicopters of US Army , Navy and Marine Corps , among which the Army's AH-64A "Apache" and AH-64D "Longbow Apache" The 70mm rocket was launched using the M261 19 tube launcher, the UH-60B Black Hawk used the M200 19 tube launcher, and the AH-1F "Cobra" and OH-58D Kiowa Warriors used the M260 7 tube launcher.
In many local wars and regional conflicts since the 1990s, the "Hydra" has appeared and is recognized as the most widely used helicopter aircraft .
Aviation rocket is still the standard equipment for Russian attack aircraft and armed helicopters. Its efficient cost-effectiveness determines that this is a non- Very good air-to-ground attack weapons.
S-8 non-guided rocket systems include weapon platforms (aircraft and helicopters), rockets and their launch devices. Helicopters can carry up to 80 rockets and are launched using B8V20A and B8V7 launch devices; aircraft can carry 160 rockets and are launched using B8M1 launch devices. At present, they are the first choice for non-guided ammunition for today's Russian combat aircraft, and are widely used in various fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters of Air Force , Navy Aviation , Army Aviation and border guard forces.
In recent years, according to the development of ammunition and the needs of the army, the Russian industrial department has continuously modernized and improved the S-8 system, and adopted advanced computer-aided design and simulation technology to achieve the optimal structural design and technical performance of the rocket. By using a hybrid solid fuel booster, the range of the rocket has been increased. Another way to improve the combat performance of the S-8 is to use a box warhead with various destroying units to determine the detonation time by the near-fight fuse controlled on the aircraft. The "highest point" of the modernization improvement of the
3S-8 rocket system is a new launch device that can exchange information between the rocket and the carrier aircraft.After improvement, the S-8 system will have many new capabilities: control the fuze operating mode according to the target type; determine the start of the rocket engine based on the input of information and the selection of rocket type; and display the type and number of rockets in the rocket launcher in the aircraft cockpit.
