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.

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 ...
An accidental explosion of ammunition, during transport or storage, can be lethal and have far-reaching affects, especially on the population and environment around it.. Between 1997 and 2007, there were 120 accidental ammunition storage explosions, killing more than 3,500 peo
- 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.
It is an aluminized (powdered aluminum) explosive having the same order of sensitivity as Composition B. [1]Tests indicate that it is about 98% to 100% as powerful as Torpex, that it is definitely less sensitive than Torpex in both laboratory impact and bullet impact, that it is slightly more sensitive in these respects than TNT, and that it is about the same order as Composition B. [2]
It carries a 470-kg high-explosive or fragmentation warhead. Accuracy is ≤10 m. [6] Variants. The Bora-2 version with a longer range is under development. [7]
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]
