ABSTRACT:
A warhead for use against armored targets, comprising a shaped charge and aftereffect caused by a second annular explosive charge located in front of the shaped charge, with the explosive charge arranged at the base of a hollow body (nozzle) tapered in target direction. A funnel-shaped sleeve is disposed between the shaped charge and the second explosive charge, and detonation transmission elements are arranged on its outer circumference. The jet from the shaped charge passes the second explosive charge prior to the latter's detonation. Behind the hole produced by the shaped charge jet an aftereffect takes place which is caused by the active mass flow accelerated in axial direction by the second explosive charge.
