Ogbunigwe, also called Ojukwu Bucket, was a series of weapons systems including command detonation mines, improvised explosive devices, and rocket-propelled missiles, mass-produced by the Republic of Biafra and used against Nigeria between 1967 and 1970 in the Nigerian Civil War.
It has four rocket launchers attached to the trailer each carrying sixty 122mm rockets. The system fires ROKETSAN 122mm T-122 Sakarya rockets fitted with a high-explosive warhead that can be detonated by using either a point detonating fuze or by a proximity fuze. [6] The operator of the system can choose how many and which pods he fires.
It is produced in a variety of sub-types with different warheads, including HEAT anti-armour (S-5K), high-explosive fragmentation (S-5M/MO), smoke, and incendiary rounds. Each rocket is about 1.4 meters (4 feet 7 inches) long and weighs about 5 kg (11 lb), depending on warhead and fuze. Range is 3 to 4 kilometres (1.9 to 2.5 mi). [2]
BRC3: Cargo warhead, 70 km range [10] BRC4: Cargo warhead, 130 km range [10] BRE2: High explosive warhead, 130 km range [10] Guided 300mm. BRE3/FD140A: 130 km range; also known as Fire Dragon 140A [10] Guided 370mm. BRE6/FD220: 220 km range, 30m CEP [10] Guided 610mm. King Dragon 300: 300 km range; Guided 750mm
The warhead is detonated by a nose-mounted impact fuse. [20] In 2018 Iran announced an assembly line for proximity fuses for a variety of rockets and guided missiles, including the Fajr-3. [21] One source reports that Fajr-3 rockets can likely carry (plain) high explosive, submunitions, incendiary, smoke, or chemical payloads as well. [3]
- M48 ATACMS deliver a single, 500-pound (230-kg) high-explosive warhead at a range of 70 to 300 km (40 to 190 miles). The explosion sends hundreds of thousands of fragments across its target area.
Kinzhal can carry either a conventional warhead with 1,100 pounds of explosive, or a nuclear device of up to 500 kilotons. And Russia seems intent on showing off the weapon’s capabilities.
The warhead is the same high-explosive, dual-mode (HEDM) as the USMC SMAW. It is effective against masonry , concrete walls, bunkers and lightly armored vehicles. The projectile can penetrate 20 cm (7.9 inches) of double-reinforced concrete walls, 30 cm (12 inches) of brick, up to 20 mm (0.79 inches) of rolled homogenous armor, or up to 210 cm ...
