Antitank missile having an angular momentum during its explosion, which takes place when flying over the target.

摘要

This projectile being characterised in that its hollow charge (1, 1') has a coating (2, 2') of density (d) and calibre (D) and a very fast blast whose head elements are moving with a velocity (V1) greater and preferably distinctly greater than 8500 m/s and a relatively low velocity gradient in order that a large proportion of the elements of the said coating is capable of participating in the penetration of the overflown target, the last ones of these elements moving with a velocity (V2) such that lambda = V1/V2 and is preferably between 1.4 and 1.5 and in that the said thruster or system of thrusters causing the pitching is capable of imparting to the hollow charge, at the moment of its detonation, a pitching velocity THETA ', which is sufficiently high that: <IMAGE> in which expression v represents the overflying velocity in m/s of the projectile in the vicinity of the target, e and D respectively represent the thickness and the calibre of the hollow charge measured in metres. <IMAGE>
