The Eghraaq is reportedly designed by the Maritime Technologies Complex as a low cost alternative to similar systems like the American Mark 54.Its existence had been briefly mentioned in past product roadmaps presented by GIDS where it had resolved to develop an advanced torpedo of lightweight category which would have an operating depth of 450m along with range of 6-7km and a maximum speed of ...
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 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]
[12] [13] [14] Weighing 125 kg (276 lb) [15] it has deep penetration capabilities, [12] [16] carries a high explosive warhead [16] and has a standoff range of 100 kilometres (62 mi), which enables users to strike targets, such as enemy airfields, at a safe distance without putting pilots and aircraft in jeopardy.
The current model produced by the Russian Federation is the RPG-7V2, capable of firing standard and dual high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, high explosive/fragmentation, and thermobaric warheads, with a UP-7V sighting device fitted (used in tandem with the standard 2.7× PGO-7 optical sight) to allow the use of extended range ammunition.
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]
- 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.
Each bomblet weighs 1.32 pounds (600 g) and has a 0.4-pound (180 g) shaped-charge warhead of high explosives, which produces up to 250,000 psi (1.7 GPa) at the point of impact, allowing penetration of approximately 7.5 inches (190 mm) of armor. Rockeye is most efficiently used against area targets requiring penetration to kill.
