BCES warhead for the Prithvi missile...
ReplyDeletethats a prithvi warhead
ReplyDeleteNo idea, Is it Something to do with new laser tech?
ReplyDeleteWarhead of Prithvi or Pinaka rocket. The shape is similar to the lotus petals Dr. Kalam ascribed to the MIRV of India's Ballistic missiles.
ReplyDeleteIts the cluster munition bomblets for Prithvi missile.
ReplyDeleteI now found the correct name for the warhead. Its called a BCES or Blast Cum Earth Shock warhead. ;)

Tank rounds?
ReplyDeleteThis Prithvi SSM Warhead is also called (BCES) Blast Cum Earth Shock warhead ;)
ReplyDeleteBut are you actually supposed to show these pics in public?
ReplyDeleteThis is the Prithvi missile's Blast Cum Earth Shock warhead. Where did you take this pic?
ReplyDeleteThis is a picture of Prithvi BCES (Blast Cum Earth Shock) warhead.
ReplyDeleter these multiple nuclear warheads
ReplyDeleteIm pretty sure they are DRDO made 84 mm shells for the Carl Gustav recoilless rifle which is in service in the Indian Army. Some time ago I saw an article about ARDE developing an 84 mm RR reverse engineered from a Carl Gustav. Maybe they made their own ammunition for it. The base of the charger looks similar to an 84mm but the warhead is a little different from the conventional ones used by Carl Gustav. The colours may indicate smoke that is deployed by the shell as OFB usually has the same colours for their smoke ammunition. What do you think Mr Shukla?
ReplyDeleteThey seem like MIRV payload for one of our strategic Missiles.
ReplyDeletenothing but show pieces
ReplyDeleteit is a warhead of a missile
ReplyDeleteWarhead (the outer casing removed) with Multiple Independently-targeted Reentry Vehicles (MIRV warhead, for short)?

Exhibition and demonstration are ways to show capabilities to achieve deterrence.
How is that!
Can be anything but it is not :
ReplyDeleteA rocket, does not have fins.
Nor a barrel fired bomb.
Not a shape charge, disproprtionate lenghth
It has:
-A warhead which could have a fuse
- A case carrying low / high explosive
hence could be:
An air fragamntion proximity bomblet
Impact bomblet
Air to ground rocket if fins are inside the casing.
A sort of bomblet which can be put inside a big casing to open at a hieght and spread thses bomblets on groud for impact brusts / low level air brusts.
paper weight.
