MGM-140B. What is known about ATACMS with a cassette warhead and where now the Armed Forces will be obtained (video, cards)

The Russian Federation has published the remains of subbov-trim, which are visually very similar to M74 from MGM-140B ammunition. The focus figured out what weapons were, and what opportunities it provides. On the night of October 16 to 17, the temporarily occupied Berdyansk and Lugansk struck Russian airfields. According to special operations, 9 helicopters and ammunition were affected. The operation was called Dragonfly. Later, the invaders began to publish photos of subbov and similar M74.

They are an integral part of the ATACMS Block 1 and Block 1A rocket. ATCMS is a ballistic rocket that runs from Western rocket launchers: M270, Himars, LRU or Mars II. They are all armed with the Ukrainian army. Cassette ammunition atacms Block 1 or Block 1A is denoted by M39 and M39A1 respectively. The characteristics of rockets differ from each other.

The M39 has: if Ukraine was transferred to M39A1 missiles, they are Block 1A, then they have the following characteristics: by reducing the number of sub -females, the lesion has doubled. The peculiarity of ballistic missiles with a cassette combat part is that at the final stage of the flight, the rocket begins to rotate around its own axis. Therefore, they are fired around the M74 sub -proofas, which increase the radius of the lesion. It is possible to adjust how large the radius will be.

To do this, the height of the discharge of sub -core is set. The M74 Subbound has a spherical fragmental-fragmental charge of an asymmetric species. It also allows you to rotate in the air until the target is affected. M74 works at 2400 revolutions per minute. In this way, hundreds of subbounds explode on the ground almost simultaneously. Officially, the Ministry of Defense did not confirm the receipt of ATACMS missiles.
